산 폴로 마테세 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

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.

A short hike with no particular difficulties. The trailhead from Campitello Matese is unmarked and difficult to identify. The trail itself is poorly marked. For those like me who'd never done it, it's essential to follow the trail on an app or similar. The descent was made by descending from the chairlift side (which doesn't operate and doesn't appear to be in operation anymore), then descending along the ski slope, which halfway through features a barbed wire barrier (!) that I had to cross.

Challenging route with a difference in altitude of about 600m, starting from the Ecocamous refuge located in the Santa Maria valley. During the route you will encounter woods, valleys and a beautiful view of Lake Matese. The route leads to the highest peak in Campania, La Gallinola (1923m)

A mountain town with beautiful views, it's a shame it isn't looked after as it should, endless road and renovation works, few accommodations, each one a Patrizia in itself without a connection, non-existent tourist information. This is in the summer, in the winter they told me even worse as an organization

Getting there from the Santa Maria refuge was a slog but when you admire the view you understand that it's worth it

Well-equipped hermitage, it enjoys a breathtaking view and a very fresh water source

Easy dirt path that runs alongside the pastures occupied by the horses of the Falode Farmhouse
