Gallinola (1,923 m above sea level) is the second highest peak in the Matese range and is located in Molise. It can be reached from Campitello Matese via a 5.5 km hike and an elevation gain of just under 500 meters. The view from the summit is spectacular, stretching from the Maiella to the Tyrrhenian Sea, clearly visible in good weather.
