End of the Climb at Monte Catria

Highlight • Summit

You reach the highest point of the road from which with a short climb you can reach the refuge where the road ends.
Continuing downhill in the woods, take the road that leads to the monasteries of Fonte Avellana.
The descent is quite steep but on easy terrain, the road is all gravel up to Fonte Avellana.
