The Capannelle pass is a very popular pass for cyclists and motorcyclists. This joins the Vomano valley to the Aterno valley along the "Strada Maestra del Parco". The name "capannelle" is due to the presence of small stone ruins guarding the fields, located throughout the area. The Capannelle pass is also mentioned by Carlo Emilio Gadda in "Towards Teramo": “At the Capannelle Pass there is a beginning or end, depending on who goes, a long mountain mouth, about one thousand three: whence, going east as I used to do, I greet you by addressing the hills, the waters, the fields dominated by the Eagle: which brings , in the eyes, the very bright sphere of the sun".

The Valico delle Capannelle is located at 1300 m asl and probably takes its name from the small shepherds' huts scattered along the route. The effort of the climb is well rewarded by a spectacular panorama.

At high altitudes, the weather varies very often
