Highlight • Canyon

The Campo Imperatore plateau canyon is something spectacular and evocative, in its gorges you can breathe the air of the Wild West.

A really impressive gorge, where you wouldn't expect to find it. It's a lovely place to walk through, there's a marked path.

Scoppaturo Canyon

Highlight • Canyon

the Scoppaturo canyon is located in the plain of Campo Imperatore. Inside it seems to immerse yourself in a setting typical of western films, a surreal and fascinating environment

View of Fondo della Salsa

Highlight • Viewpoint

Since the route is constantly changing due to the snowmelt and meltwater, it is best to start at the car park near the small Colle Rustico pass behind the ceramic village of Castelli. Take the forest path at the picnic area and always follow the yellow-red markings to the end of the path. But be careful: when the snow melts, crossing the cirque, which has to be done several times, is very dangerous!!!

Beautiful rocks that welcome the thunderous water to create majestic waterfalls, you can see them flooding on Saturday and Sunday. 🥰

Is the trail covered? Is it doable in summer with sun?

Very beautiful gorge, which you can also take a quick stop in. "Four Fists for a Hallelujah", or more precisely the bean soup scene, was filmed there and you can take some funny photos. You can park at various entrances. The gorge itself is narrower than the film spot.

Well, what do you see? The heart or the dog's head?
