Mount Terminillo is a massif, whose highest peak reaches 2217 m above sea level. The southern slope that overlooks the plain of Rieti, much man-made and used for tourism, has more elevation than the northern, more rugged and wild looking towards the plateau of Leonessa. Terminillo was launched for tourists in the thirties after a visit to Benito Mussolini.\u00a0 He was “impressed by the beauty of the mountain range.” It was made a\u00a0 broad road from Lisciano Pian De ‘Rosce, supplemented subsequently to Terminillo. In the thirties, then it starts the tourist boom with the first ski slopes equipped. \u00a0In 1940, he was made the cable car, still it exists. From the fifties to the seventies was a Terminillo ski resort of reference for all of Central Italy. Today this mountain regularly sees growing interest in sports activities such as hiking, sky race, and hiking in summer as well as winter. Terminillo has hosted many times, in the town of Campoforogna at an altitude 1670 meters, the stage finish of the Tour of Italy. In particular, the Terminillo (Campoforogna) boasts the stretch with the largest number of mountain top finishes in the Tour of Italy (9 times). Many also transits on top of the Sella di Leonessa, the last in 2007. The climb of the Terminillo, to the saddle Lioness (1885 m), the southern slope from Vazia-Rieti is considered one of the toughest climbs of central Italy.\u00a0 Along with that of the Gran Sasso (Campo Imperatore) and the Blockhaus, both for the total elevation gain (1,390 mt), that the length (21.3 km) and slopes (average 6.5%, with peaks up to 13%). A little ‘softer and shorter (15.4 km at 6.1% average with peaks of 10%) by climbing the northern slope of Leonessa.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
