Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park Hiking Trails

Pescasseroli serves as a primary gateway to an extensive network of hiking and trekking trails within the globally renowned Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park. Trails vary significantly, from easy family-friendly walks (e.g., 'Sentiero Natura' near the Visitor Center) to challenging multi-day treks ascending iconic peaks like Monte La Rocca or Monte Vitelle, often reaching altitudes above 2000m. Popular routes offer unparalleled opportunities for wildlife spotting (Marsican brown bear, Apennine wolf, chamois, deer) and lead to scenic viewpoints, ancient beech forests (UNESCO World Heritage sites), and high-altitude pastures. Detailed maps, trail conditions, and permits (for restricted areas) are available at the Visitor Center. Local certified alpine guides can be hired for guided tours. Most trails are accessible from late spring to late autumn, with higher altitude trails potentially requiring caution or being closed in early spring/late autumn due to snow.
