파센트로 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

former Pelino bivouac, work on the new refuge

even if it is not marked on the maps at the moment, there is a path that reaches the summit from the pass below. alternatively, I think it is very panoramic to reach the summit also from the SE "ridge", which runs parallel to the valley (evaluate personal capabilities)

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.

Unfortunately, the characteristic round building of the rifugio at Passo San Leonardo has probably been permanently closed since the corona pandemic. In any case, progressive deterioration was clearly visible during our visits in 2022 and 2023. The panorama of the Maiella, especially from a little above on the edge of the forest, is still worth a stay and at least a short hike.

At 2,061 meters above sea level, Mount Morrone is located on the border between the provinces of Pescara and L'Aquila, within the Majella national park. From this top, the view is simply enchanting. The paths that lead here are all very easy and have no particular technical characteristics. It's really fun to run in this area.

Passo San Leonardo is one of the most important passes in Abruzzo, not only for racing bikes but also for MTBs.

The great Monte Mileto, a pearl of the Majella National Park. It can also be reached by bicycle from Passo San Leonardo.

The Capoposto refuge is located at an altitude of 1800 meters, near Mount Mileto, in the Majella National Park. Several paths lead past the refuge, which offers a breathtaking panorama of the region.
