Funivia del Gran Sasso d'Italia (Cable Car)

The primary access point to Campo Imperatore from Fonte Cerreto (L'Aquila). This modern cable car ascends from approximately 1,120 meters to 2,130 meters, covering a significant vertical gain in about 7 minutes. It operates year-round, though with seasonal variations and maintenance closures (check official website for current schedules). It's essential for winter access when the road to Campo Imperatore is closed. Prices are indicative (e.g., adult return ticket ~€18-€25). It offers breathtaking panoramic views during the ascent and descent.
