2-day guided via ferrata trip in Gran Sasso, Italy

Join me on a 2-day guided trip on the Gran Sasso, a massif in the Apennines. Its highest peak is Corno Grande, which measures 2,912 meters. This is the highest mountain in the Apennines, and the highest outside of the Alps.

In the mild and sunny days of summer, the lower slopes of Gran Sasso are covered in grass and wildflowers, which are grazed by large flocks of sheep, cattle and even semi-wild horses.

The region is also home to much beautiful wildlife, including the Apennine wolf, wildcat and the Marsican bear.

With Campo Imperatore as our base, we will climb some of the best via ferratas on the mountain, such as Ferrata Ricci and Ferrata Danesi. These climbing routes are used to reach the stunning peaks of Corno Grande and Corno Piccolo.

Known as the Sleeping Giant, due to the mountain appearing like a reclined face, Corno Piccolo stretches to 2,655 meters. This makes it the third summit of Gran Sasso.

The ash colours of Corno Grande and Corno Piccolo originate from the mixture of limestone and dolomite, and is some of the best rock in Italy.

This 2-day trip is suitable for medium-to-good trekkers who want to appreciate the Apennine Mountains with a mixture of trekking and easy climbing.
