Embark on a difficult hike to Corno Grande (Gran Sasso) from Campo Imperatore, covering 6.1 miles (9.9 km) with a significant elevation gain of 2617 feet (798 metres). This challenging route, which typically takes 5 hours and 26 minutes, begins on a wide track from the old Albergo at Campo Imperatore, a vast plateau known as "Little Tibet." As you ascend, the path narrows, leading you through rocky steps and steep scree slopes where you might need to use your hands for balance. The trail is well-marked with red-and-yellow or red-and-white indicators, guiding you towards extraordinary views. From Sella di Monte Aquila, you can admire the panoramic Campo Pericoli valley and the majestic Corno Grande itself, offering a truly Alpine experience. You will also glimpse the Calderone basin, home to Europe's southernmost glacier. This route is classified as difficult, requiring good physical fitness and sure-footedness. If you suffer from vertigo, this trail is generally not recommended. Sturdy hiking boots are essential for the rocky and scree sections, and trekking poles can provide extra stability. Be prepared for strong winds and sudden weather changes, as snow and ice can persist until early summer and late in the season. This iconic trail leads to the Western Peak of Corno Grande, which at 2,912 meters is the highest point in the entire Apennine Mountains. Starting from Campo Imperatore, a vast plateau famed for its "Little Tibet" moniker, you are within the Gran Sasso e Monti della Laga National Park, known for its diverse flora and fauna. The route offers a unique opportunity to experience one of Italy's most significant mountain landscapes.

Embark on a challenging 3.8-mile (6.1 km) hike to Monte Aquila from Campo Imperatore, gaining 1099 feet (335 metres) in about 2 hours and 33 minutes. The trail begins on a wide, loose path near the observatory, then narrows to a singletrack with zigzags and steep sections as you climb towards Sella di Monte Aquila. You will traverse gravel and alpine terrain, with views of the vast Campo Imperatore plateau unfolding below you. Keep an eye out for mountain flora like edelweiss and red lilies, and enjoy the expansive panoramas of the Gran Sasso massif, including the majestic Corno Grande, as you approach the summit marked by a metallic red cross.
This difficult route requires good fitness, sure-footedness, and sturdy shoes, as some sections can be technical. Even in July, you might encounter snow patches, so be prepared for varied conditions. While the initial parts to Sella di Monte Aquila are sometimes considered more moderate, the full ascent to Monte Aquila demands alpine experience. Plan your visit carefully, considering the terrain and the need for appropriate gear to safely navigate the higher elevations.
The Monte Aquila trail is celebrated for offering some of the most spectacular views in the Gran Sasso e Monti della Laga National Park. Beyond the stunning vistas, the route provides access to historic mountain refuges like Rifugio Garibaldi and Rifugio Duca degli Abruzzi, perfect for a rest. You are hiking through a unique and wild mountain landscape, where you might spot chamois or even the elusive Apennine wolf. The area also holds historical significance, as Campo Imperatore was famously where Benito Mussolini was imprisoned in 1943.
