Valle delle Cannelle

Abruzzo

Branching off the main Fara San Martino gorge system, this valley narrows into towering rock walls streaked with reeds that give it its name. It's a serious mountain outing with loose scree and short scrambles, rewarded by some of the wildest, least-visited scenery in the whole Majella park.
