Overview

Itineraries and excursions in unspoiled nature

Along the Apennine watershed between Abruzzo and Lazio, between the province of L'Aquila and that of Frosinone, extends one of the most suggestive road crossings in Italy: Forca d 'Acero.

In addition to connecting the municipalities of Opi and San Donato Val di Comino, this spectacular pass becomes in summer the starting point for a series of excursions and in winter the favorite place for winter sports, cross-country skiing in the first place. It is a destination also loved by motorcyclists, who enjoy the many corners in continuous succession, and by cyclists: it is no coincidence that its ascent four times was the protagonist of the Giro d 'Italia.

The main gateway to the Abruzzo National Park, located 1538 meters above sea level, Forca d 'Acer owes its name to the presence of an incredible amount of centuries-old maples, which together with oak and beech trees transform the town into a kaleidoscope of colors. 

In such a setting it will be a pleasure to stop in the equipped area, in a vast plateau surrounded by uncontaminated woods, refresh yourself at the Refuge and enjoy the exquisite local culinary offer.
