The town of Pian de’ Valli, is located in the municipality of Rieti, stands at the foot of Terminillo, at an altitude of 1620 meters, hosts many accommodation and commercial activities, and the departure station of the ski lifts is located a few steps from the center. The famous Terminillo cable car is still in operation today both in the winter and summer seasons and is the historical symbol of Pian de’ Valli.

Great place for a stop: you can enjoy excellent sandwiches or stop for lunch

Antrodoco is one of the most important centers that you encounter along the Salaria. The name actually means "among the mountains", as the town is nestled right between: Mount Giano (recognisable by the writing DUX on one of the slopes), Mount Elefante (in the Terminillo massif) and Mount Nuria (in the Cicolano mountains ). The ancient village, perched on the slopes of the mountain, is hidden by the more modern houses that develop along the Salaria, but it is worth visiting.

The Romolo De Angelis refuge is located at an altitude of 1,450 meters above sea level, immersed in a beautiful beech forest and with a splendid view of the mountains above Antrodoco. The refuge is always open and well maintained. It can be reached with a steep but not too long walk from Rocca di Fondi. It's a pleasant place to seek fresh air on hot summer days or enjoy the colors of autumn.

Mount Nuria with its 1,888 meters of height is one of the most important reliefs of the Cicolano mountains. It is a peak that can be reached at any time of the year. In winter it is always better to bring a pair of crampons with you to be able to overcome the steepest and often icy final part. There are many itineraries to reach the top, the simplest and best marked is the one that goes up from Borgo Velino. Coming from the Rascino plains, the walk is certainly splendid but very long.

Refuge of reference in the Apennine chain. Gateway to excursions to Monte Terminillo, in summer it can be a bit crowded and in winter be prepared for cold and snow.
