Let's talk about trails and paths in our beautiful valley. We do this with a fantastic panoramic location in the cooler months of the year when you dive in the flowering fields or you can follow the change of livery of the trees.
countries of Forca di Valle and Cerchiara are surmounted by a large area of \u200b\u200bgrassland attributed to the summit slopes of Montagnone. The area is generally steep except for the top of a big grassy collinone locally called "Lu Ncuume, located just across the Paretone Corno Grande is one of the beautiful lookout of the valley.
Departure and arrival : Isola del Gran Sasso (400 m).
Gradient: 800 m
Rise Time: 2.30 hours
Fall Time: 1.30 hours
Difficulty: This itinerary is developed almost entirely on dirt roads .
laziest I can start walking from Forca di Valle or Cerchiara, but I think from Island, set off from the bottom of the valley helps to better perceive the different aspects of this journey.
From the historic center of Isola del Gran Sasso, we head towards the post office and go up the road behind which soon turns into a trail paved with stones. The path leads in a short time on the paved road that climbs to the village of Cesa of France. Continue on the tarmac for a few tens of meters to take a clear track which descends to the left. The dirt road is spread through fields of arriving at a crossroads near a house occupied only during summer months, here you turn right uphill on rocky terrain decided quickly reaching the ruins of the convent of San Valentino.
From the ruins continue on the main dirt road for a hundred meters until you cross marked on the right path that winds among the oaks. A stretch of steep near the path leads you over to it by going under a tunnel of concrete pavement. Climb to the right along a field along the hillside to reach a trail that takes you to the right thus reaching the first houses of Forca di Valle.
Instead of traveling the road that climbs the wide turns, follow the steep path that goes between the houses of the country. Reach the upper part of the town, next to a fountain, there is a junction where you turn left and continue following the signs wooden park. This stretch is very steep, it passes near the source of the fish, a large rock from which water flows, and you get the seat of Long Plain, which opens before the summit slopes of Montagnone.
From the saddle you head to the left on lawns and in a short time you reach the top at the top of a large grassy collinone, Lu Ncuume precisely. After a necessary pause to enjoy the magnificent view of the Gran Sasso and the entire valley of Sicily to do is get away without following the required fields which descend eastward As you proceed towards the town of Cerchiara is noted presence of a weak track in the grass which is becoming more evident.
The track at some point intersects the road that connects with the Source Cerchiara Chiavatteri, take it to the left and soon we arrive in the country. All that remains is down between the houses to go along the track which leads to the ruins of Valentine, and from there back to Isola del Gran Sasso.
