Every year between the end of June and the beginning of July the uplands of Castelluccio (di Norcia) attract wild flower enthusiasts from all over the world, who come here to admire the magnificent mountain scenery aflame with the thousands of different varieties of wild flowers in bloom.
Although the Festa della Fiorita, celebrating this extraordinary natural event at 1300 metres above sea level, takes place on the second Sunday in June, clearly it is impossible to gauge with precision when the apex of the flowering will take place. Nonetheless, visitors to Norcia and Castelluccio during this time of year will in no way be disappointed if they decide to take one of the many footpaths leading to Monte Vettore or towards the Lago di Pilato (Pilato's Lake).
