The Cipresseta di Fontegreca is one of the most well-equipped natural areas in the Matese: a forest of centuries-old cypress trees crisscrossed by streams, waterfalls, and shaded paths. There is a €3 entrance fee to the park, which allows for sustainable management of the area. Visitors have access to picnic tables, shaded areas for laying out a towel, public restrooms, and a seasonal shuttle service from the parking lot.

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.

The cypress grove is accessible with the payment of 3 euros per person. It can be reached by shuttle, offered by a local association that takes care of it following the payment of 1 euro per person. It is an enchanting place to refresh and stop for a picnic. From there, several challenging and unmarked paths (mule tracks) wind towards the highest parts of the ridges where it stands, to be followed with caution.

The Bosco degli Zappini, better known as the "Cipresseta di Fontegreca", is one of the major symbols of the Matese Park. It is the subject of study because it is the only cypress forest of this size in Italy. Here there are also some fascinating waterfalls and natural pools.

to be seen

The Sant'Egidio refuge is an alpine structure located in Molise, at around 1,100 meters above sea level, surrounded by beech forests on the north-eastern side of the Matese, above the town of Bojano. Nearby is the hermitage of the same name and the Fosso Colle Mancini. The hermitage of Sant'Egidio is an ancient monastery consisting of a single nave church with a statue of the saint. It was founded by the Cistercians or Templars in the 9th century and restored in the 20th century. The paths to reach this place are very easy to follow by running, and this location is an excellent stopping point for exploring the Matese.

From the chalet at the top of the chairlift, you can enjoy a breathtaking view as far as the Campanian Islands!

Mount Miletto (2,050 meters above sea level) straddles Campania and Molise and offers a 360° view of the Apennines, Lake Matese and the Mediterranean Sea in the distance.
