Passo San Leonardo is one of the most important passes in Abruzzo, not only for racing bikes but also for MTBs.

The San Leonardo pass, at an altitude of 1,282 metres, connects Pacentro to Sant'Eufemia a Majella. The pass offers wonderful views of the Majella and Mount Morrone. The San Leonardo pass is an excellent base for excursions, among which the so-called direct route that leads to the summit of Monte Amaro stands out. The Orta river flows from the San Leonardo pass.

Passo di San Leonardo is an enchanting place suspended between Monte Morrone and Majella, where the beauty of nature reigns supreme. The colors that can be admired in autumn here are truly unique. It's one of the best seasons to visit (although it's a show all year round). The vivid colors of the leaves, together with the deep red of the sunset, create a rare and wonderful sight.

The climb to the San Leonardo da Tocco da Casauria pass is truly spectacular. In the final stretch, a serpentine of curves opens up the view to the Majella massif and its highest peak, Monte Amaro. Passo San Leonado is the gateway to the great plateaus of Abruzzo and offers ample space for a night bivouac.

Challenging climb in the midst of beautiful places.
