Monte Sillara


Monte Sillara is the highest peak in the Appennino Parmense, a sub-chain of the northern Apennines in the province of Parma, northern Italy. It has an altitude of 1,861 m. The Sillara is located at the boundary of the provinces of Parma and Massa-Carrara, divided between the comuni of Monchio delle Corti and Bagnone.
On the Parmense side are two small glacial lakes, the Lake Sillara Superiore and the Lake Sillara Inferiore. The source of the Bagnone torrent, a left affluence of the Magra River, can be found on the southern Sillara.
