Mount Capanne an absolutely unmissible trip is to M. Capanne, the highest peak on all Elba, from which you can admire a unique and marvelous panorama. After a day of rain and strong wind, the sky is swept of haze which is therefore the best moment to be on the summit from where you can see the whole island of Elba, the continent and the nearby islands: Capraia, Montecristo, Pianosa, Giglio and Corsica.
Note: About 200 m before reaching the town of Marciana there is a parking lot. The departure point of the funicular is located a few meters above, though not visible from the lot due to the thick chestnut trees; the same as those which will accompany you for a great part of the journey to the summit.
