Majella in Sella

About this event

Set in the rugged Majella mountains of Abruzzo, this trail race starts from the charming village of Fara San Martino, known for its natural springs and dramatic gorge. The Majella massif offers serious vertical gain through beech forests and alpine meadows, with trails that wind past ancient hermitages carved into limestone cliffs. June timing means wildflowers in the high country and long daylight hours, though the terrain demands solid mountain running experience. The local area is famous for its pasta production and traditional mountain culture, making it worth extending the trip to explore the surrounding valleys and villages.
