For years the Monti della Laga were the least known mountain group of the Central Appennino. Aligned from north to south the ridge of the Laga develops for over 20 km at altitudes above 2000 meters and includes all the highest peaks: Macèra della Morte (2073 mt), Pizzo di Sevo (2419 mt), Cima Lepri (2445 mt ), Pizzo di Moscio (2411 m), Monte Gorzano (the highest peak in Lazio, 2458 m) and finally at the southern edge of Monte di Mezzo (2155 m).
While most of the mountain groups of the Central Apennines consist of prevalence of carbonate rocks (limestone and dolomite), the Laga is made up of a succession of sandstones (cemented sea sands).
The Lazio side is characterized by a discontinuous forest cover, as opposed to the Adriatic side, and by steep and deep valleys incised in the 'sandstone. The Laga in fact, thanks to its geological features is the realm of running waters.
