ファラサンマルティーノのおすすめランニングルート

former Pelino bivouac, work on the new refuge

Fontana

Coming from the Fara San Martino gorges, the route becomes less narrow, even if it requires concentration and caution. We then arrive at the Vallone di Santo Spirito, where we find an area with tables and water fountains for resting.

The Fara San Martino Gorges are one of the most fascinating places in the Majella, with a network of easy-to-follow paths.

Lama dei Peligni, located in the heart of the Maiella National Park in Abruzzo, is famous as the "country of chamois". Immersed in an environment rich in biodiversity, it boasts landscapes including oak groves, steep crags and high plains.

The Pelino bivouac is one of the most famous bivouacs, if not the bivouac, in the Apennines. It is spartan and essential: eight wooden planks on which to place the mattress and spend an unforgettable night at an altitude of 2,700 metres. There are few places from which you can see the sun rise over the Adriatic and set over the Tyrrhenian Sea. A unique place that is worth all the effort to reach it.

After passing the narrow gorges of Fara San Martino the path widens and opens onto the Santo Spirito Valley. Along the route there are wooden tables and frozen water fountains. Legend has it that Fra Martino opened the mountain with his elbows to create an opening and allow the local inhabitants to reach the grassy clearings at the top of the mountain. Walking in these places you perfectly understand the origin of the legend. Magical places!

The gorges of Fara San Martino are among the most evocative and accessible places of the Majella. The route inside the gorges is easy and suitable for families. It allows you to get to know the mountain from the inside, through its very high rocks. For those who love challenges, from here they can undertake the climb to the summit of Mount Amaro and face the highest altitude difference in the Apennines!
