The Monte dell'Ascensione is a relief of the Marche sub-Apennine at an altitude of 1100 meters. It is surrounded by spectacular gullies, which form part of the protected area of the Parco dei Calanchi e Monte Ascensione, and its name derives from a church there to be found on the summit founded in the 14th century by Meco del Sacco, a hermit and preacher.

Beautiful event held every year in Comunanza by the A.S.D. Gerosa Bike gerosabike.net. This year 400 attended the event. It is a "medium / high difficulty route.
