We were in April when there is no flowering yet, but it is still of a unique and unmissable beauty... the photos don't give an idea, you have to be there. It is a mountain plateau different from the landscapes of Northern Italy. Flowering is between mid-June and mid-July, I hope to be able to see it sooner or later. The town of Castelluccio, unfortunately, was devastated by the earthquake.

The scenery to get to Castelluccio is beautiful. Despite being the last Saturday of June there was not much crowd and, contrary to what I feared, we arrived by car easily. No queues or blockades and no need to take the shuttle. Unfortunately the flowering was disappointing, very different from how you see in the photos. In some places there are beautiful fields of poppies and some cornflowers. Most of the lawns are mowed and I haven't figured out what the lentils are. Nevertheless the valley is beautiful and worth going there if you do not have to travel many kilometers.

how wonderful this show of colors. we visited it at the weekend and we reached it with the shuttle of "start spa" which, in 20 minutes, accompanied us to the main floor of Castelluccio. the shuttle departs once an hour from gallows loan, where there is a large space where you can park your car.

We made a brief side trip to Castelluccia during a cooking vacation in Norcia. Due to a wetter than normal winter, the flowers were still in full bloom in July. They are truly beautiful and worth the visit. Bring sunscreen, as there are no trees and it's hot. Be sure to walk up and check out the town itself while you're there.

I was truly blown away by the beauty of this place. We came at the beginning of July, on Saturday, and it was extremely busy, but the magnificent nature with all the mountains and fields, just took my breath away! I couldn’t stop admiring it and taking photos. The lentil fields transform incredibly somewhere between May and July, when they beautifully bloom, creating a fantastic color mosaic. I know that this year a lot of people were, apparently, complaining about not so many flowers, but I really enjoyed the site. There is also the Italian-boot-shaped grove on one of the hills (made out of planted trees) and it’s very picturesque! So don’t miss it! Also, arrive in time to have lunch surrounded by all this spectacle of nature and then don’t forget to stop by in Norcia, which is only 28 km away! P.S. Wear comfortable walking shoes to get around.

That a place like this exists, and is not well-known, is incredible. Try to go for the Fioritura, in late Spring, early Summer. Google for pictures that look too fantastic to be real… but they are real.

We visited three times, and had three different experiences. The first time, late May, we did a 4 hour hike around the large flat valley floor. It was a sensational experience, walking through acres and acres of wildflowers, buttercups, daisies, wild pansies, miniature daffodil and tulips and heaps of other varieties. All against a backdrop of snow capped mountains, and the hilltop town of Castelluccio. Peaceful with only a handful of other folks in town and no one on the Piano.
The second visit, mid June, a picnic by the stables. The wildflowers still blooming but less yellows. We drove South out of the valley, which gave great panoramas.
A completely different experience during the lentil flowering season (mid July). Despite visiting after the lentil festival, it was still incredibly busy with cars pulled over willy-nilly for folks to take pictures. The fields themselves stunning shades of purples and also red from the poppies. A photographer's dream.

Traveling here with a local, I was blown away by the privilege of experiencing this hidden gem. We drove from the coast of le Marche up through the mountains and into grand piano. So many wonderful memories, including the forest in the shape of Italy, herds of sheep and excellent local foods. What a delight to watch groups of people on motor bikes come in, rest, eat, relax and move along. The simple landscape is beautiful and unlike anything I've ever seen. It's easy to forget the altitude of this rich flat landscape while you are there. We stayed for a lingering meal of fresh local meats and cheese in the sun. I will always remember this part of our vacation. Please experience this place.

The plains are full of thistles. Also, don't forget to check out Piano PiccolĂł, it is a bit hidden. You can reach it from the mountain pass Norcia-Castellucio, arriving from Norcia, right when you reach the pass and glimpse the plains, you reach a crossroads, it is hard to miss, people are selling pasta, cheese, truffles and lentilles there, on the crossroads you don't continue straight into Castellucio, but turn right to a forrest. After cca 2km, the road ends with a huge camper parking area, leave your car there and follow a dirt road cca 500m up a slight hill. You will be greeted with a beautiful view of Pian PiccolĂł and Piano Grande with Castellucio.

I've travelled in many places in the world but what i have seen in this Valley is something that i've never seen before. I was lucky to be in the best time of the flowering of poppies and lentils. Once you are down in the Valley, close to the fields of the flowers you have a Red and purple sea in front of you. Just incredible. If you are in this area in july you can't miss it

ciao, ad agosto com'è la piana di Castelluccio?
vale la pena fare il percorso ad anello?
Written August 12, 2020
Buongiorno, noi siamo stati due giorni fa quindi fuori periodo fioritura ma devo dire che la piana lascia senza fiato. Uno spettacolo a perdita d'occhio. La fioritura sicuramente sarà più particolare, ma anche così è suggestiva.
Written September 5, 2020
Ciao, sapete dirmi indicativamente se la fioritura è ancora presente intorno al 23 Luglio? Grazie mille!
Written July 6, 2020
Credo che sarĂ difficile, visto il caldo... normalmente dura una decina di giorni
Ieri c’era ancora..., ma fino al 23 mancano ancora 11 giorni...

Sapete se ci sono ancora chiusure stradali in strada provinciale 136? Con google maps Sembra che per andare da castelluccio a visso/ ussita si debba fare il giro ...vedo dei cartelli di divieto sul tracciato...
Written June 14, 2019
Noi siamo arrivati solo a Castelluccio, la strada per visso era aperta, non cerano cartelli che indicavano strade chiuse.
per sicurezza sarebbe meglio chiedere alla atp di norcia.
buona giornata.

Ciao. Vorrei tornare a visitare la vallata di Castelluccio. Mi sapete dire se tutte le vecchie strade sono tornate praticabili in moto?
Written June 6, 2019
Le strade sono tutte aperte, noi da Norcia a Castelluccio habbiamo trovato solo un semaforo, per il resto tutto ok.
Buona passeggiata.

buonasera, il 14 giugno 2019 andrò a vedere la famosa Piana di Castelluccio, che tonalità di colori troverò?
Written June 4, 2019
Io ci sono stata il 30 di maggio, i campi sono già seminati, ma la stagione è molto indietro visto che li è nevicato il primo di maggio, e anche il trenta faceva abbastanza freddo. la piana era tutta verde con chiazze di fiori gialli e parti di terreno arato. Forse per metà giugno qualche fioritura potrebbe esserci.

Domani ,domenica 2 giugno parto per Castelluccio da Rimini . Vorrei sapere se è iniziata la fioritura e quale è la zona migliore per fare foto! Dove posso trovare una buona trattoria ? Grazie , Sauro

Ciao..vorrei gentilmente sapere ,se per raggiungere le coltivazioni,ci sono strade sterrate o con buche..mi dovrei recare a fine giugno,ma ho grossi problemi di schiena ,quindi avrei proprio bisogno di questa informazione,per eventualmente spostare all’anno ventura la mia visita ..grazie mille
Written May 15, 2019
La strada che sale da Norcia non è così dissestata e in ogni caso visto che è comunque una strada di montagna non si puó correre più di tanto quindi le buche che ci sono puoi benissimo evitarle e comunque concordo con chi ha affermato che non è peggio delle strade di Roma... anzi!

Qual è il luogo migliore per vedere la piana fiorita?
Written May 2, 2019
Tra fine giugno inizio luglio ti consiglierei di vederla in due punti:
1)Da Forca di presta (strada che porta verso arquata) se sei amante del Trekking vai alla Cima del Redentore
2) Arriva in paese, alla piazza prendi la strada che sale a sx, sali su una mulattiera che piano piano ti apre lo scenario della piana fiorita
