Beautiful trail, also suitable for cycling, naturally downhill, at times very stony and loose with very large rocks, steps, and rocky parts. The gradients in some sections are double-digit but for short stretches. Excellent riding skills or carrying the bike are required. The panorama repays the difficulties.

The hermitage of San Michele Arcangelo is a small church located on the slopes of Mount Altino, which belongs to the Aurunci Mountains chain, at 1220 m above sea level in the territory of Maranola (a hamlet of Formia). Set in the rock, it is located along the path that leads from Sella Sola to the summit of the Redentore, on a sheer spur. The rock sanctuary, dedicated to Saint Michael the Archangel, dates back to 830, as it is mentioned in the Codex diplomaticus cajetanus. However, the stone facade, which closes a natural cavity, was rebuilt in neo-Gothic style at the end of the 19th century, in 1893, when Archbishop Francesco Niola climbed Mount Altino on a pastoral visit. He indicated the interior of the grotto as an ideal location for the new construction, in order to avoid the damage suffered by the previous church, caused by runoff water, falling rocks, and ice. The new project was drawn up by the engineer Silvio Forte of Trivio. The rock was squared to form the environment of the Church, and a space twelve meters long, ten wide, and seven high was obtained. On the back wall, opposite the entrance, a niche also carved into the rock houses the statue of Saint Michael. The facade, facing west and with two projecting volumes on the sides, has in the center a pointed arch entrance door, surmounted by a rose window open to let light into the church's interior. On the arch of the door, next to the inscription “Angelorum Principi”, are the dates 830, the year of the foundation of the old monastery, and August 5, 1895, the day of the inauguration of the new Sanctuary. These dates are also reported on a plaque placed inside the church. Both the rose window and the other openings of the facade were closed by polychrome stained glass windows, now lost.

A bit of fresh air after so much climbing, herds of wild animals as a frame. There are tables with benches and braziers ready for use

This saddle is fast and allows you to catch your breath before the last ramps that give access to the monument.

It's the real reward for all the climbing. The ramps that lead up to the monument are technically challenging. Lower the saddle, put a hard gear and push all the way to the top.
