Sightseeing |
|
The hotel is located within short
driving distance from worth visiting places such as Lago Lungo and Lago di Ripasottile, the Cascate
delle Marmore, and il Cammino de Francesco (the San Francesco Path).
The Cascate delle Marmore is a testament to Roman engineering,
forms a landscape of rare and suggesting beauty, that
represents an escape from urban scenery. People explore the area
in search of unexplored corners or previously unseen views.
Lago Lungo and Lago di Ripasottile are natural reserves,
havens for sport fishing. Not distant from the natural
reserve is situated a complex of religious installations
known as the "Holy Valley", including the sanctuaries of
Greccio, Forest, San Giacomo, and Source Columbus. |

The Mount
Terminillo |

|
Mount
Terminillo is the highest mountain in the Lazio Apennines (2216
Mts.) and is situated in the southern part of the Rieti mountain
range, bordered to the south and east by the Velino Valley. The
Terminillo Ski center, made up of Campoforogna and Pian de’ Valli,
is the most important and best equipped in central Italy. Since the
road is always passable and public transport is good, it can be
easily reached not only from Rome and Rieti but also from Perugia,
Ascoli and Pescara. The skiing complex is spread out over the
Terminilletto and Terminilluccio slopes and has 15 ski-lifts going
up to 2105 Mts. Pistes of varying difficulty run down from this
height with a total distance of 40 Kms.
For cross-country skiers there are
three circular routes of 5, 7, and 10 Kms. at Campoforogna. The
favourite places for Alpine skiers are the peaks of Mount Cambio
(2084 Mts.) and Mount Terminillo. |
