We start from Rovere, one of the most recognisable fortified villages in the area, overlooking the symbolic border between Marsica and Aquilano. Here, the trail begins in a setting that retains a strong historical imprint. The remains of the Castle of Rovere - which are free to visit - immerse the pilgrim in a landscape of walls, ruins and ancient passages, where you can still sense the role of the village as a place of transit and defence. A little further on, the Chamois Visitor Centre and Wildlife Area of Rovere adds a different and valuable perspective, bringing you closer to the fauna of the Sirente Velino Park. Here, the trail becomes part of the local environment, thanks to the info points, educational materials and observation points dedicated to the Apennine chamois. Continuing towards Ovindoli, the route maintains an accessible and contemplative dimension, ideal for those who want to experience trekking on the Abruzzo plateaus without sacrificing recognisability of place. The arrival has its own distinct personality. Ovindoli presents itself as a natural gateway to the plateau, with panoramic views, good amenities and close links to the mountains all year round. Here you will find the Monument degli Alpini, a war memorial that marks the entrance to the village, reinforcing the relationship between the local community and the culture of the mountains, closing this stage with a sober but distinctive memory.
