enjoying the breathtaking view from the peak of monte capanne seems like a must for visitors of elba. if you cannot make the climb (ca. 700 meters up from marciana) you can take the cabinovia (open birdcage cable car chairlift) right off the strada provinciale, which will take you up to a height of 950m - tickets cost €18 during high season, €12 during the rest of the year.

up there, you will find a little bar with a deck whence you can enjoy the view, but if you want to capture the full 360° panorama, you will have to make a final 69m climb to reach the climax: the full splendor of l'isola d'elba at your very feet.

on clear days, you can see the appenine mountains in the north, with the peak of monte maggiorasca rising above the clouds, the island corsica in the west, capraia and other islands of the archipelago toscano around the elban coast in the near distance. no further spoilers - go see it for yourself.

when climbing monte capanne on your own two legs seems like more fun than having a machine carry you up, you will find a number of routes that will take you through the lively forest that covers its slopes. the best route from marciana (not shown on google maps) starts at the tiny square at the southwestern end of via del giardino & via della rena. here you can fill up on natural spring water and head out on route 101, make your way up the mountain and perhaps choose to return by birdcage-on-a-wire to enjoy monte capanne in full effect - cordially recommended to all of us with strong legs and healthy hearts.

dai dai, ragazzi!...

Siamo saliti in cabinovia in uno splendido pomeriggio di fine agosto. Prezzo tratta unica 13€ a testa. Vista mozzafiato dalla cima che offre il panorama su tutta l'isola, la Corsica e le altre isole toscane. Abbiamo deciso di scendere a piedi, dopo che in biglietteria ci hanno descritto il sentiero 101 (il più facile e veloce) come una passeggiata di 2 ore. Niente di più errato, purtroppo. Il sentiero è malmesso, a tratti affatto segnalato, soprattutto nella parte iniziale dalla vetta. Molto difficoltoso per via di alberi, piante e grossi massi sulla via che rendono la suddetta "passeggiata" più simile ad un'esperienza di sopravvivenza. Iniziati a scendere alle ore 17:30, siamo giunti a Marciana alle 20 passate. Non siamo neofiti né poco allenati o inesperti in fatto di escursioni, ma senza scarpe da montagna e le giuste indicazioni (sia dal punto di vista dei segnali del sentiero che dei suggerimenti del personale della cabinovia) abbiamo passato veramente dei brutti quarti d'ora. Interi alberi crollati in mezzo al sentiero, tratti estremamente scoscesi e a strapiombo senza nessun tipo di sicurezza rendono l'intero percorso estremamente inaccogliente. Un vero peccato, avrei voluto godermi di più questa escursione, che invece merita moltissimo grazie alla varietà dei paesaggi. La vera difficoltà è stata soprattutto nella discesa della parte iniziale perché il percorso non è per nulla ben visibile o segnalato, motivo per cui ci siamo persi e abbiamo camminato fuori dal sentiero per un bel tratto prima di...

Very nice and fairly easy mountain walk up to Monte Capanne. Start at the cable car on route 1. If you are used to Alpine mountain walking, the trip takes about 1.5-2 hours. You will see beautiful nature and great views throughout the walk. It is very empty as 99.9% of people take the cable car. The top of Monte Capanne is very busy and completely built up with telecom and TV antennas. Hence, enjoy your walk up.

Hiking the Monte Capanne was great fun, especially since the way 101 up is very easy to follow and pretty beautiful as well. The view from the top across the island and beyond is amazing! Thanks to the nice lady of the little café, she was very sweet. We went down by foot too, it's a nice 1-day-tour (2,5 hours to the top, 2 hours having a break + lunch there, 1.5 hours back..more or less.)
