Campo Imperatore Summit

Highlight • Summit

This is the arrival point of the Campo Imperatore road. Located at an altitude of 2,100 meters, various stages of the Giro d'Italia have arrived here: the stage won by Marco Pantani in the 1999 Giro stands out for its importance. Various hiking trails start from here, including the one that leads to the western peak of Corno Grande, the highest point of the Gran Sasso chain of Italy.

Ascent to Campo Imperatore

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass

Last stretch of climb to reach Campo Imperatore. Very comfortable and completely asphalted road. Slopes never too demanding; the final segment from the Pietranzoni lake to the Campo Imperatore refuge rises progressively to complete the last 8 km with approximately 480 m of altitude difference.
