The Normal Route is a fairly simple route, except for the last 400 meters, the gully and the ridge, which, being EEA grade (expert equipped hikers), require considerable physical strength and technique. Mountaineering boots are also required, and a helmet is recommended. Since the ridge is also quite technical, it is absolutely not suitable for those with a fear of heights, the elderly, children, or anyone without mountaineering experience.

A Classic from Campo Imperatore, I recommend excursions even for those who are new to the area, beautiful panorama

We tried to walk around Corno Piccolo, but that is not possible without gear. Halfway we had te go back and then walked up to the Refugio. Very nice view and very nice walk.

The Madonnina is the point of reference for those who frequent the Gran Sasso. The cable car that goes up from Prati di Tivo arrives here. It is the starting point of the path that leads to the Franchetti refuge and the various summit paths. The path that goes up to the Madonnina from Prati di Tivo is however a beautiful excursion suitable for anyone.

Mount Aquila (2,495 m) stands between Campo Imperatore and the Corno Grande. From his cross you can admire the valley of hell and also the Adriatic Sea.

The Western Peak, with its 2,912 meters, is the highest of the Gran Sasso massif and also the highest peak of the Apennines. It is part of the larger peak of Corno Grande which includes: Eastern Vetta (reachable with the fun Ricci ferrata from the Franchetti refuge), Torrione Cambi, Central Vetta and the simpler and more popular Western Vetta. The view from the top is spectacular, on clear winter days you can admire both seas!

The Corno Grande with its 2,912 meters above sea level it is the highest peak of the Apennines. It can be reached via the Via Normale or the Direttissima. Both trails require some attention.

Challenging climb on a steep path. It is not recommended to leave the path because you run the risk of getting stuck or slipping on the scree.
