ヴァッレピエトラの峠・トップ4

Challenging but worth the effort

Passo delle Pecore is the meeting point of several paths. There are beautiful glades here.

Smooth 5% ascent from Carsoli between several nature/regional parks. Descent towards Avezzano with fantastic views onto the mountains of the Parco Naturale Sirente-Velina. Good road.

The Serra Sant'Antonio pass is located at 1602 m, on the provincial road to Campo Staffi, and is a mountain pass (on the watershed between the Simbruini and the Cantari).

Monna della Forcina is one of the key points in the Mtb outings in Simbruini: here you can start the hard climb of Mount Tarino (not recommended by bike from this side), go up towards Campo Staffi, go down towards Campo Ceraso and Campo della Pietra or go down towards Fiumata or Fillet. If you need water, go to Fiumata, Campo Ceraso or Campo Staffi.

There are 4 possible directions to Passo delle Pecore if you are equipped with an e-MTB.

From here you can go up, on the left, to the summit of Mount Tarino (from which the Aniene is born): it still takes an hour and more than 300 meters. in altitude, but, if you go up, you can see Filettino, Campo Staffi and even the Fucino plain to the east

With a generally downhill profile, this trail is one of the most recommended in the area for Mtb or e-Mtb. Ups and downs, guided sections and fast sections alternate while the scenery of the beech forest flows around. It ends on a large grassy clearing and, continuing it as indicated in the track, you arrive on the slope of Female Dead. Highly recommended
