It is the highest point in Abruzzo and indeed on the Italian peninsula: a hike with a ‘high-mountain’ feel where you’ll need to use your hands to make your way along the Via delle Creste. A magnificent view of Campo Imperatore and the Gran Sasso massif in all directions.
Please note: be sure to take note of the comments in the ‘Practical Information’ section.

Departure from Caporciano (L'Aquila)
We are not very athletic and only go hiking a few days a year.
Please note that after KM 9, I choose to cut straight across, off the trail. The trail leading south is not maintained and is very steep. We had a bit of difficulty, whereas the path indicated on my route is more passable.

Departure from Acciano (L'Aquila)
A fairly easy and very pleasant walk connecting a small village to a slightly larger town. The start is a little steep, but the walk is worth the effort, with breathtaking scenery. An accessible walk in a less frequented part of Abruzzo
