There are many excursions that can be done in Campli and in its territory, between nature and unspoiled landscape.

Among the main trails are:

  • 411 from RIPE DI CIVITELLA to MACCHIA DA SOLE
    Splendid itinerary in the undergrowth that, starting from the square of the church of Ripe, crosses at high altitude above the wild Gorges of Salinello, up to the suggestive ruin of Castel Manfrino.
     
  • 411a from PATH 412 on the SALINELLO to PATH 411 (Vroga delle Trocche)

  • 411b from PATH 411 (Vroga delle Trocche) to the HUT in THOLOS

  • 411c ANELLO of CASTEL MANFRINO
  • 411d from PATH 411 to LE CANAVINE for the HERMITAGE of SANTA MARIA SCALENA

  • 412 from RIPE DI CIVITELLA to the HERMITAGE of SAN FRANCESCO
    The itinerary starts from the square of the Gorges of Salinello, and after reaching the famous Sant'Angelo Cave, it descends into the Gorges of Salinello, one of the most evocative of the entire Apennines, near the Lu Caccamo waterfall; then it goes back to the Hermitage-Cave of S.Francesco, to rejoin the 411, with which it forms a beautiful circular route.
     
  • 413 from MACCHIA DA SOLE for LE CANAVINE to MONTE GIRELLA
     
  • 413a from LE CANAVINE to CROSS OF CORAN
     
  • 418 from GUAZZANO-LA PIANA to MACCHIA DA SOLE (location LE VROGHE)
     
  • 418a from RIPE di CIVILTELLA to the HERMITAGE of SAN MARCO
     
  • 418b from GUAZZANO-LA PIANA to RIPE DI CIVITELLA
     
  • 419 from LA SALLUTA through the COSTA DELL'ELCE to MONTE FOLTRONE
    The itinerary starts from Guazzano (La Piana locality), near an abandoned villa. After a stretch in common with the 421, turn left first with the 419a (more tiring), then with the 419 (recommended), covering the entire beautiful Costa dell'Elce; at the junction with 419a there is an extraordinary quantity of giant hollies; at the exit from the wood there is an ancient agro-pastoral settlement, with caciare bases and a large stone fence: from there, through high altitude meadows, up to the summit of Foltrone.
     
  • 419a from GUAZZANO-LA PIANA to dell’ ELCE COAST
     
  • 420 from PIAN CERRETO to FOLTRONE to the FONTE DELLE IACCERE
    This is the easiest way to reach the Fonte delle Iaccere (the most important of the Campli Mountain) and the splendid panorama that extends to the Adriatic Sea.
     
  • 421 from GUAZZANO-LA PIANA through COLLE BIANCO to the summit of MONTE FOLTRONE
    It is one of the most evocative and complete routes to the summit of  Foltrone: it starts from Guazzano (La Piana locality, two hundred meters after the abandoned villa) and, after a long traverse on the east side, plunges with steep turns into the large beech forest of the north side. Joining with the 426, it comes out on the Costa dell'Elce and therefore at the top.
     
  • 422 from BATTAGLIA to PIAN CERRETO (chestnut path)
     
  • 423 from BATTLE for PIAN DELL'ORO to the summit of MONTE FOLTRONE
    Great classic, which from the Piazzetta di Battaglia reaches the Foltrone, first in the mixed forest, then for the splendid views of Pian dell'Oro.
     
  • 423a from the junction for the FOLTRONE to the FONTE DELLE IACCERE, passing through the FOSSO BIANCO
    Variant reopened by the CAI, but following a historic mule track in the evocative environment of the Fosso Bianco. Unmissable in May the flowering of wild peonies!
     
  • 423b from BATTLE to MONTICCHIO
    It is the fastest path to reach Monticchio, the real "Mountain of Campli"! The path is common to that for the Foltrone up to the Fonte delle Trocche, then bends with a long traverse to the left up to the Belvedere degli Scoiattoli: from there you follow - with a tiring climb - the ridge line
     
  • 423c connection from the path for Monticchio to the path for Monte Foltrone
     
  • 423d RIPETTE path - connecting path from Muretti to Battaglia
     
  • 424 from PIAN DELL'ORO to COSTA DELL'ELCE
     
  • 425 from BATTAGLIA through the VALLE DEGLI SCOIATTOLI to the FORK at the junction for the BONE CAPRINO
    It is the "must" of the Twin Mountains! It follows the valley floor up to its head of the Forchetta, and then connects to the Macchia da Sole side: but from the main path (to be used as an ascent or descent) the splendid itineraries of the Valley depart, a true paradise for outdoor sports with its climbing crags and the many routes for trek, bike, horseback riding, enduro, quad ...
     
  • 425a from VALLEY OF SQUIRRELS to the saddle between MONTICCHIO and PIAN DELL'ORO (Path of the Squirrels)
    Path reopened by the CAI, but reported on maps as a historical trace, it is probably the most beautiful path of the Campli Mountain: short but daring, it allows from the valley floor to reach the Pian dell'Oro crest unraveling among a maze of peaks, ridges, walls rocks, caves, hidden valleys, with three successive vertiginous views of the Valley of the Squirrels.
     
  • 425b from VALLE DEGLI SCOIATTOLI, through CASALE MENGHINI, to the STRADA per PIETRA STRETTA
    A nice variant at the end of the valley road, on the left, to reach the delightful clearings of the Bifari and the ruins of Casale Menghini: from here a comfortable cart road climbs up to the road that goes down from Pietra Stretta to Piano Maggiore.
     
     
  • 425c from FORCHETTA to MONTE FOLTRONE (EE)
    Path for expert hikers only: from the Forchetta (reachable from 425) turn right into the woods, then traverse to the left in the scree, aiming for an evident channel: go up it up to a splendid suspended ledge, which on the right leads to the final ridge . From here briefly to the summit on the end of the 423
     
  • 425d Path of the CASCATELLA
    Bike route, now also trek, characterized by suggestive waterfalls and fords in the initial part.
     
  • 425e Path of the FOUNTAINS
    It can be combined with the Sentiero della Cascatella, it is its logical continuation, skirting waterfalls and water features, hence the name: a nice alternative to the cart track (425) up to S. Eremo.
     
  • 425f Path of the MURETTI
    Recently reopened by the CAI, it is a splendid example of terracing with dry stone walls built masterfully about a century ago on the occasion of the intense reforestation on the Twin Mountains.
     
  • 425g Ancient MULATTIERA di S. ERASMO
    Unknown to most, it allowed the cutting of the beech woods under the Monticchio: the steep hairpin bends end in the gully, and then reconnect with a long traverse to the Squirrels Belvedere  (423b).
     
  • 426 from BONE CAPRINO (Macchia da Sole) to MONTE FOLTRONE
    Another classic of the Foltrone, perhaps the best known to hikers, and recommended for the variety of landscapes crossed. A cart track heavily damaged by neglect and rainwater starts from near the Osso Caprino picnic area, up to a crossroads on the left (CAI pole and little man, straight on to go to Forchetta). The road first descends then climbs increasingly steeply in the woods, then crosses a first clearing, then flanks a rocky wall, finally reaches a second clearing: on the right the 426a climbs to the very steep summit (recommended uphill, not recommended downhill), while the main path crosses to the left for a long time, rejoining first at 421, then at 419. From the crossroads, taking the north-east ridge, to the summit.

  • 426a from PATH 426 to MONTE FOLTRONE
    Very popular variant of the main 426, it is not recommended, however, downhill due to the steep grassy slope below the summit.
     
  • 427 from the FORK to the MAJOR FLOOR
     
  • 428 from the FORK to NARROW STONE (Pietra Stretta)
    Useful and quick connection between the Valley of Squirrels and the Pietra Stretta road

  • 431 from MACCHIA DA SOLE from PIANO MAGGIORE to MONTE DELLA FARINA
      
  • 432-433 from ROIANO to CASALE RAMONI in NARROW STONE
    Variant from the Valley of Squirrels to the Pietra Stretta road, used mainly by bikers downhill.
     
  • 442 from CASA CAI for COLLE S. SISTO and MONTE CICCONE to COLLE LA CIUFFA
    From Casa CAI (locality La Cona) going up to the left, for a short path that connects to a gravel road, comfortable and very panoramic, with splendid views of the Laga, the Sibillini and the Gran Sasso chain: recommended for families! From a bar on the left it is possible to reach the picturesque Sbraccia Lake in 5 minutes.
     
  • 449 from MACCHIA DA SOLE to CAI HOUSE
     
  • 451 from CASA CAI to SORGENTE CORDELLA
    Another easy and panoramic walk from Casa Cai, going up on the right. Go up Monte Tignoso, with beautiful views of the Sibillini and the Laga, until you reach the beautiful clearing of the Monti and Cordella mountain huts (it is possible to continue to the Grotta della Paura, to Settecerri or to Laturo).
     
  • 451a from the SOURCE CORDELLA to  CORANO CROSS
