Chapel of Our Lady of the Snow

Highlight • Religious Site

A stop to the Madonnina. The statue is located at 2,000 meters on the Blockaus. For mountain enthusiasts and visitors to the Majella, it was a stop in a place of peace and meditation.
The Madonnina was built at his own expense by a great lover of our mountains, a small entrepreneur in the earthmoving and asphalt sector, the late Mario Tracanna from Roccamontepiano

It must also be said that Mario Tracanna, after having obtained all the authorizations, starting from those who would detain its custody, unfortunately died in 2017 in a terrible accident on the ski slopes.
Since then and after its inauguration with a blessing and consecration, it has also become the shrine of all mountain lovers who have lost their lives here.
A place of devotion and spirituality where every year, Mario's friends celebrate an outdoor mass with a short hike on foot, from the Rifugio Pomilio to the Madonnina.

If you are a true cyclist you have to reach the Madonnina... there is also a breathtaking view from above.

Monte Amaro Summit

Highlight • Summit

Monte Amaro is located at 2,793 meters, and is the highest peak in the Maiella National Park. The climb is challenging, especially if you choose to undertake the climb from Fara S. Martino – in this case there are 2,400 meters of altitude difference to tackle, the highest in the entire Apennine chain (to be tackled only by experts and professionals). Going up it is possible to spot the Abruzzo chamois, and around the month of September you can also hear the roars of the deer.
