Overview

An easy route on the right side of the east face of M. Meta

Getting There

In Alfedena (893 mt) take the road asphalted that conducts to the Plain Campitelli (1445 mt). Leave there the car and go to the path on the right.
Continue afoot along the path (enough evident also with a lot of snow) that it is on the right of the Campitelli Plain.
The path enters then the wood and goes down of some about ten meters folding up toward right, then it goes up again with varied curves(always in the wood),
At the high of 1680 meters, the path goes out of the wood. It appears visible the coastline of the M.Meta (1h). From here another hour it is necessary to arrive at the base of the walls.
