Answer first: the caves sit inside the park’s Gola di Frasassi area. We verified the park’s size and structure but not individual trails, so this page does not recommend one.

The three areas

  1. Gola di Frasassi: the gorge with the caves, the Valadier temple and the San Vittore abbey.
  2. Gola della Rossa: the second gorge of the park.
  3. Valle Scappuccia.

The park covers 10,026 ha. Monte Murano is 882 m (italia.it).

Walking

Sources disagree on how many marked trails exist, so we quote none. The Santuario Madonna di Frasassi is the easiest short walk-in destination: see the temple page. For anything longer, ask locally for current trail conditions.
