ラツィオの峠・トップ20

Passage point for the Meta and other paths

Madonnella Pass with the runner's prayer

beautiful passage in the woods that leads from Lariano to the vivaro meadows, but to be avoided in this period due to wood cutting and a lot of mud present on the dirt road

Once you reach the "peschio delle cornacchie" peaks, you can enjoy a wonderful 360° view! If you arrive at Mount Monna when there is snow, equip yourself with crampons or snowshoes, given that the path hidden by the snow remains a bit difficult!

(1967mt) The Monaci Pass is located on the border between Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise, crossed since ancient times by pilgrims, traders and bandits. The monks used to place a stone when they reached the pass. Over the years, piles of a couple of meters high have formed, clearly visible in the center of the plateau, making it a characteristic sign of recognition. The name of the Monaci Pass comes from a legend: three monks died during a storm while trying to cross the pass. The story is plausible, given the difficulty in identifying it if you come from the west and there is fog, and considering that historically the mule track that passes it connected the territories of the important abbeys of S. Vincenzo al Volturno and Montecassino. This very particular territory is the kingdom of a historic herd of Apennine chamois, which performs acrobatics between leaps, cliffs and steep meadows, grazing on grass or resting comfortably on sheer walls.

From Campodimele it's about ten kilometers of pedaled and shaded climb

It's a wonderful place, the trees are incredibly beautiful

must try 😉
