Cycling

Start in Fallo, a small village where the first few pedal strokes pass peacefully among stone houses and the silence of the mountains. Leaving the town, you leave the asphalt and tackle a stretch of uphill dirt road: pedal slowly, find your rhythm, and immediately feel the nature of the ride, which requires attention but rewards with an immediate immersion in nature.

Returning to the asphalt road, you reach Montelapiano, a cozy village inviting you to take a short break. The streets are quiet, the setting rural and discreet, perfect for those seeking itineraries away from the main traffic. From here, climb to the highest point of the route, recognizable by the three crosses near Monte Vecchio: a simple yet significant spot where you can stop and admire the landscape that stretches all around.

Continue along the panoramic road towards Pennadomo. Here, we suggest slowing down: the route opens up onto woods and gentle slopes, with expansive views that accompany the ride without ever becoming monotonous. The landscape is authentic, typical of the Abruzzo lowlands. The descent gradually leads back to Fallo, concluding this scenic route.

Le Tre Croci

Highlight • Monument

Here you'll find three large crosses depicting the crucifixion of Jesus and the two thieves. For those living in Bagnaturo and Sulmona, they're a constant visual reference: looking up at the mountain from below, they stand out clearly against the ridge.

Beyond their spiritual significance, this site is renowned for the incredible panoramic view it offers of the Peligna Valley; once you reach them, you feel as if you're standing on a natural terrace suspended in the void. The crosses are often illuminated for special occasions or religious holidays, making them visible even at night from across the valley below.
