Monte Terminillo

Terminillissimo. That's what we called this tour. Yes because climbing Terminillo starting from Rieti without ever touching asphalt and doing practically all the descent on trail is not easy at Terminillo. Ascent from the Lisciano valley, not steep but with a bumpy surface that put us to the test. Arrival at Pian de Valli and ascent to the summit via the Terminilletto with several first grade passages that force you to climb on all fours. Fantastic Sassetelli ridge also with a couple of heart-pounding passages. Very challenging first part of the descent from Cima di Vall'Organo to La fossa refuge. From here we climb back up to Pian de Valli to take trail 409 to Pian de Rosce to then continue on the historic Duce trail to which we add Macchiole DH that passes precisely in the abandoned village of Macchiole. After 10 hours 34km and almost 2000 meters of elevation gain we arrive down at the cars
