Monte Terminillo

Monte Terminillo is a mountain summit reaching 2,217 meters in the Monti Reatini range, separated from neighboring peaks by deep valleys that shape its isolated position. The terrain offers varied slopes and multiple trails suitable for different skill levels and activities.

The installation of a cable car in 1938 marked the beginning of the mountain's transformation into a winter sports destination attracting visitors from Rome and surrounding areas. This infrastructure development led to its growth as a regional snow sports center.

The mountain serves as a gathering place for outdoor enthusiasts from the surrounding region, drawing winter sports fans and summer hikers who come to experience the landscape. Local communities view it as an important recreation area connected to their seasonal rhythms.

Two mountain refuges provide shelter for visitors: Sebastiani with 30 beds operates year-round near marked trails, while Rinaldi offers additional accommodation options. Visitors should prepare for changing conditions depending on the season and their chosen activity.

The northern slopes contain several natural ice climbing routes called couloirs that appear seasonally, offering different difficulty levels based on snow and ice conditions. These formations attract experienced climbers looking for less-traveled challenges.
