Gorges of Fara San Martino

Highlight • Gorge

The gorges of Fara San Martino are among the most evocative and accessible places of the Majella. The route inside the gorges is easy and suitable for families. It allows you to get to know the mountain from the inside, through its very high rocks. For those who love challenges, from here they can undertake the climb to the summit of Mount Amaro and face the highest altitude difference in the Apennines!

Vallone di Santo Spirito

Highlight • Gorge

After passing the narrow gorges of Fara San Martino the path widens and opens onto the Santo Spirito Valley. Along the route there are wooden tables and frozen water fountains. Legend has it that Fra Martino opened the mountain with his elbows to create an opening and allow the local inhabitants to reach the grassy clearings at the top of the mountain. Walking in these places you perfectly understand the origin of the legend. Magical places!
