    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!

    Hiking

    For those who arrive at the Foro degli Occhiali and want to further explore the surrounding environment or enter the hole, it is possible to do so with the via ferrata. Obviously, you need mountaineering, climbing or advanced hiking experience. I also recommend the use of a harness, helmet and suitable shoes. Remember that what you go down you have to go back up or vice versa. There is also the possibility of doing a circular tour. Prepare yourself with maps or guides.. departure from Pierosara, Rosenga, Vallemania or Gola di Frasassi
