Facts and practical information

Mount Ascension is a 1,110 m high relief of the Marche sub-Apennines, located entirely in the province of Ascoli Piceno. It straddles the valleys of the Tronto and Tesino, a river that originates just north near Force. The profile of Ascension has a jagged appearance that suggests different figures: depending on the vantage point, it may recall the sleeping beauty or the profile of Cecco d'Ascoli, a heretic and opponent of Dante Alighieri. The views from east northeast and west southwest are perfectly mirrored.

The area of this mountain is administratively divided among various municipal territories, such as: Ascoli, to the south; Appignano del Tronto to the southeast; Castignano to the northeast; Rotella to the north; Force to the northwest; and Palmiano and Venarotta to the west.
