Fifteen rappels drop 400 meters through 1000 meters of limestone inside the Monti Sibillini National Park near Ussita, the longest rappel a full 70 meters. Aquatic rating a1 keeps this a mostly dry descent despite the depth, with a mandatory 15 kilometer shuttle and a season limited to May through Jul.

| Manager | Parco Nazionale dei Monti Sibillini |
|---|---|
| Permit | No park authorization is required for a private descent. The Monti Sibillini regulation on sporting activities lists torrentismo alongside rock, ice and caving activities as something individuals may undertake, and reserves authorization under its articles 4 and 7 for organised sporting activities, which is the commercial and event case rather than a private party. The same regulation carries additional restrictions inside zone A of the Park Plan, so check the zoning that applies to your route before relying on this. |
