Description
Snowshoeing at the gates of L'Aquila of sure satisfaction to reach the panoramic top of Monte Cagno with views of the city and the Aterno valley. Easy round trip.

Program
We will leave the vehicles to Campo Felice near the plants and from there, climbing first through the woods and then through clearings, we reach the top of Monte Cagno (2153m). The excursion continues returning to the ridge and, if desired, you reach Monte Ocre (2204m) and then continue downhill on the way of going to Campo Felice to the starting point.

In case of total or partial absence of snow, the excursion will be carried out without snowshoes.

Technical requirements
Medium trainig for mountain walking is required.
The hike is considered of medium difficulty but can become more "challenging" reaching the top of Monte Ocre.
