Trail to Mount Cairo:
Mount Cairo is the tallest mountain at 1669 m high, it extends from the Melfa Valley to the Liri Valley. It is definitely the most beautiful mountain for an excursion. There are various routes to reach the peak, or one of its Refuges (Pozzacone, Otraturo, Casermette) from Colle San Magno, the main ones are 3. The first route starts from the Cisterna area, you get to where the road ends and then go to the left, you walk through the rocks and the beechwood reaching 1300 m where Pozzacone Refuge is (we can reach the other two Refuges, Otraturo and Casermette, from this point); in order to reach the summit, you take the route on the left side of the refuge, the route is marked with the letters AMC (Mount Cairo Ring) and it crosses another large beechwood, but you need to climb up very challenging rocks to get to the first summit at 1630 m; once at the first summit, you have another 1 km walk to reach to the cross placed at 1669 m main summit. This is the route preferred by most hikers and it takes about 2 hours 45 minute to cover it. The second route starts from the hamlet of Forma, just before an historical fountain present in the area you turn left and go up through a very steep but walkable route, you cross the area where there is a natural lake called “Culluturo” and from there you can choose whether to go to the Pozzacone Refuge or to the summit, as this route reconnects to the first one at one point. This surely is the shortest but most difficult route, only for experts, it is not marked and it takes about 2 hours 15 minutes to get to the summit. The third route is the continuation of the route to the Settare site, you continue walking and always keeping your right, at one point another route starts, crossing another magnificent beechwood, known as the “Ratiche”, you go up till the end of the beechwood, you turn right and take the AMC route (previously mentioned) in order to reach the summit. This being definitely the longest route but the easiest one as it takes about 3 hours 30 minutes to reach the summit from the Scannole site. The summit and the refuges are also reachable from the village of Terelle.
