ROUTES TO THE RIDGE

Project Area

Abruzzo is a picturesque region in Italy featuring an abundance of natural resources such as rare species of animals and plants which is perfect for natural tourism. The region is known to be the greenest region in Italy since it consists of 3 national parks, 1 regional park as well as many natural reserves and protected areas.

The Gran Sasso mountain situated in the northern part of the region is the home of beautiful scenery and biodiversity. The northern area itself contains both oceanic and continental climates which define types of plants and inhabitants.

The proposed area is located next to Hotel Campo Imperatore, on the path to Corno Grande (the peak). There are 2 main accesses to the area. One is a 2-lane road connecting the A24 highway to the camp (30 minutes). Other is a ropeway which takes less time (6 minutes).

The site overlooks Campo Imperatore Meadow where farmers move their herds of cattle and sheep to feed them in summer.
