Embark on a difficult hiking adventure through the Torrente Callora Nature Reserve, a 4.5-mile (7.2 km) loop that challenges you with 1059 feet (323 metres) of elevation gain. This route typically takes around 2 hours and 32 minutes to complete. You will experience a wild and diverse landscape, winding through deep gorges and past rocky spires, with the ancient Roccamandolfi Castle often visible high above the canyon.
Before you go, be aware that parts of this trail are considered technical and potentially hazardous. Some sections are exposed and lack clear signposting, so you should be comfortable with challenging terrain. If you have a fear of heights, this route is not recommended, and certain ascents from the gully may require specialist equipment or prior experience.
The reserve itself is a natural wonder, carved by the Torrente Callora river. As you hike, you will encounter beautiful waterfalls and vibrant flora, especially during the spring months. A major highlight is crossing the modern Tibetan suspension bridge, which stretches 230 meters over a 140-meter-deep gorge, offering spectacular views of the Matese mountains.
