The Gamberale Viewpoint is a breathtaking natural terrace located at the highest point of the village, offering an extraordinary view spanning the Sangro Valley and the rugged peaks of the Majella and neighboring Molise. This panoramic vantage point, suspended between sky and rock, allows you to take in a vast horizon of dense forests and small hilltop villages, offering a sense of absolute peace and a privileged perspective on the wild heart of the Apennines.

Passo Forchetta, connecting Roccaraso to Campo di Giove, offers a journey through a fresh and lush forest. The road, although the asphalt is not in perfect condition and subject to small landslides, offers a picturesque and fascinating driving experience.

The Deer Wildlife Area is a magical place in the Majella National Park. Despite its name, it's possible to spot deer, but it's a bit rare.
