Pizzo Cefalone, Gran Sasso
Abruzzo
Pizzo Cefalone (2,533 m) is one of the most rewarding Gran Sasso summits accessible from Campo Imperatore without technical equipment. The route traverses open limestone ridges with chamois grazing calmly nearby. The Adriatic is visible on one side, Majella on the other — two massifs in one view.
