This town with its suggestive historical center hosts the Frasassi Climbing Festival every year. A festival focused on sport climbing but not only... Also MTB, bouldering, slack-line, yoga and hiking. The event takes place on the last weekend of August, a moment of international meeting between lovers of this sport. Surely an initiative that wants to successfully promote (naturalistic) tourism in this area. For the whole weekend there is a streetboulder competition, so you climb in the alleys, on the walls of the houses, the tower or the surrounding wall. Truly spectacular, even for those who do not participate. However, it is also worth visiting all year round to browse through its alleys or to take a trip to Monte Murano.

Very nice village. Meeting point for many cyclists, hikers, climbers and motorcyclists. The square with the pine tree where the inhabitants meet after lunch or dinner for a chat, perhaps accompanied by a glass. At the bar you can find food to calm the hunger after sports and an excellent coffee. Narrow and picturesque alleys. More populated in summer but also in winter there is life. I love this place.

An absolute must if you are visiting the region. It can also be easily combined with the Frasassi Caves. The temple set into the rock is really something impressive. The ticket costs 6 euros. The path to the temple offers a beautiful view of the valley and numerous places to sit allow people who are not good at walking to visit the temple. There are even sanitary facilities at the top. The temple is unspectacular inside, but its location is all the more impressive.
