For the Foro degli Occhialoni I started from San Vittore di Genga, after the tower bridge turning left (there are signs) and following path 139, but I recommend starting from Pierosara near the church and taking the 117 because it is shorter.

From San Vittore it is all uphill in zigzags until you reach the crossroads with path 117 which goes right to Pierosara and left to the eyeglass hole and southern cave (straight along the eagle path and Frasassi peak), everything is well signposted so it's hard to get lost.

From here continue along the side of Mount Frasassi, after about 1km you will arrive at the crossroads that goes up to the right for the "Grotta del Mezzogiorno" (a little hidden) which I recommend doing, if you continue straight on "clinging" between rocks and trees you will reach the destination .

Beautiful!!! But be careful not to look out too much because below there is more than 100m of emptiness!!!!

For the more experienced you can continue but you need to be equipped with carabiners, so don't try it!!!

Back on the same road

A natural window overlooking the Frasassi gorge. At the right times you can admire special plays of light. For the bravest, you can enter the hole, making a small descent with the utmost attention. Obviously recommended only to hikers with climbing, mountaineering or via ferrata experience. There are cables and/or ropes. The descent into the hole is slippery, some rocks are crumbly, and remember what you go down you should go back up!

Characteristic place of the Gola della Rossa and Frasassi park.
The last part of the climb is a bit difficult.
