Around the reserve
Boardwalks and paths along the lake, the mill, Lago Chiaro. Suitable for everyone, even with a pushchair on the equipped sections. Early in the morning you can see herons and coots.
Nature and trails
From the lake's reed beds to peaks above two thousand metres
Posta Fibreno lies on the edge of the Lazio side of the Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park. In an hour you go from a walk along the lake shore to high-altitude beech woods.
Hikes
From the easiest to the most demanding
From Settefrati to the Canneto Valley
Park trail O7 climbs from the village to the sanctuary through the woods: it is the pilgrims' route. You can walk back or arrange to be picked up.
Forca d'Acero
From Alvito a mountain road climbs about 24 km to the Forca d'Acero pass (1,538 m), on the border between Lazio and Abruzzo and a gateway to the Park. From here you can walk in the beech woods or take trail P1 towards San Donato Val di Comino.
Monte Meta, 2,242 m
One of the Park's signature peaks, on the border of Lazio, Abruzzo and Molise. The quietest ascent starts from the Canneto Valley, through beech woods and grassy ridges. With a little luck you will meet chamois.
Within the Park the Park Authority's rules apply: some trails have limited access or require a guide at certain times of year. Our Destination Manager can put you in touch with licensed hiking guides.
The walking routes
The Way of Saint Benedict passes a few kilometres away
The Way of Saint Benedict links Norcia, Subiaco and Montecassino, the three places of the saint's life, in about 300 km and 16 stages. The last stages cross Ciociaria:
- Collepardo – Casamari, about 25 km
- Casamari – Arpino, about 22 km
- Arpino – Roccasecca, about 18 km, through the Melfa gorge
- Roccasecca – Montecassino, about 19 km
Alla Posta is a convenient base for two or three nights between Casamari and Arpino: bike storage, washing machine and transfers to and from the stages on request.
The Way of Canneto
A pilgrim route to the Sanctuary of the Madonna di Canneto, officially launched by the Diocese of Sora-Cassino-Aquino-Pontecorvo. It is walked mainly in August, but the valley is beautiful in every season.
Pilgrim credentials and GPS tracks: official website of the Way of Saint Benedict.

Cycling
Quiet back roads between Vicalvi, Alvito and Atina, the loop around the lake, the ride down to Isola del Liri. Indoor bike storage and e-bike charging.
On the water
Canoeing and snorkelling

On horseback
Along the old drove roads
In the Comino Valley qualified guides lead horse treks along the old mule tracks, from Alvito to the lake.
Come back tired, the garden is waiting
A porch, a washing machine, a real kitchen and the silence of the reserve.
