At 2,061 meters above sea level, Mount Morrone is located on the border between the provinces of Pescara and L'Aquila, within the Majella national park. From this top, the view is simply enchanting. The paths that lead here are all very easy and have no particular technical characteristics. It's really fun to run in this area.

This place is a splendid oasis of tranquility, where the cave is located which was the first modest refuge of the hermit Pietro da Morrone, located on the slopes of the homonymous mountain. You can reach the hermitage through stairs carved into the rock. The climb itself is not too demanding given the modest difference in altitude. However, if the climb is still too tiring, you can travel most of the way by car and park a few meters from the hermitage.

Very nice walk, parking in front of the gate ,,15 min walk on the road and then 20 minutes climb with great view at the hermitage. We came on a weekday and the hermitage itself was closed.
