Monte Amaro is located at 2,793 meters, and is the highest peak in the Maiella National Park. The climb is challenging, especially if you choose to undertake the climb from Fara S. Martino – in this case there are 2,400 meters of altitude difference to tackle, the highest in the entire Apennine chain (to be tackled only by experts and professionals). Going up it is possible to spot the Abruzzo chamois, and around the month of September you can also hear the roars of the deer.

Hiking

Very demanding for your legs, especially when you come down. Lots of water required when hot. Barely survived with 3 litres

Hiking

Mountain peaks in the Majello Group (Abruzzo) with a magnificent view of the Mediterranean Sea, among others. Very worthwhile ski tour from Passo Leonardo. At the top is the Bivaco Pelino.
