    Hiking

    De Corno Grande (West Summit) – in Italian the Vetta Occidentale – with an absolute altitude of 2,912 meters, is the highest mountain peak in the Abruzzo region and the entire Apennines. It is the highest peak on the Italian peninsula outside the Alps.

    Historical fact: the pioneer Francesco De Marchi

    One of the most remarkable stories from the history of this summit is about the very first official ascent. On August 19, 1573, Francesco De Marchi became the first to successfully reach the mountain peak.

    Hiking

    Via normale. Not a very easy way, because there are a lot of sliding rocks where you step on. Also not to hard in September when no snow. There are a lot of guided groups on the way. Especially in weekends it can be very busy, keep that in mind and go early...
