Monte Gorzano

Monte Gorzano reaches an elevation of 2,458 meters, marking the highest point in Lazio and standing as a prominent peak in the Monti della Laga range.

The mountain served as a natural boundary between the regions of Lazio and Abruzzo, influencing the development of local communities and trade routes through centuries.

Local shepherds maintain traditional practices around Monte Gorzano, following seasonal patterns of moving their flocks between mountain pastures and lower valleys.

Hikers accessing Monte Gorzano should bring navigation equipment and sufficient water, as the marked trails require careful planning and appropriate mountain gear.

The mountain slopes contain the source of the Tordino River, which flows through deep valleys and creates numerous waterfalls on its path to the Adriatic Sea.
