The Central Apennines are the stone heart of Italy. From the Sibillini Mountains to the Majella, passing through the Laga, the Terminillo, the Gran Sasso, the Velino-Sirente and the peaks of the Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise Park, a rugged mountain system offers hundreds of itineraries for hikers and mountaineers. The 80 itineraries in this guide take you to 152 peaks in Umbria, Marche, Lazio and Abruzzo, in four national parks and various regional protected areas. Many are accessible to all hikers, some include easy rocks, aided sections or snow gullies. The new Gran Sasso via ferratas and the Sibillini and Laga itineraries transformed by earthquakes are included in the guide. Collectors of the 2000 Apennine peaks will find 114 peaks of the list here. Accompanying those who walk are eagles and chamois, high-altitude flowers and beech forests, panoramas and waterfalls, hermitages and villages.
