Passo Lanciano connects the two Abruzzo villages of Pretoro and Lettomanoppello. It is a place much loved by the locals, both in the summer and in the winter months: in fact, various hiking trails start from here and there are ski slopes. There is no shortage of restaurants where you can eat the typical arrosticini.

Monte Blockhaus

Highlight • Summit

Arrival of the ninth stage of the Giro d'Italia 2022. Its name is of German origin and means "house of stones".
The name was coined by the Austrian military referring to a stone fort located on top of the mountain built for defensive purposes.
The debut of the Blockhaus at the Giro d'Italia took place on 31 May 1967, on that occasion the stage was won by a very young Eddy Merckx
