Things to see near Rifugio dell'Aquila

Pintura is a ski resort with ski lifts and slopes of varying difficulty, and in winter it is the main destination in the area. Cross-country skiing and snowshoeing are also practiced on the resort's cross-country trails.

From spring to fall Pintura is the starting point for hikes through meadows and beech woods, suited to those looking for routes of a few hours. More demanding routes climb toward peaks such as Monte Castel Manardo, Monte Acuto, Pizzo Tre Vescovi, Pizzo Berro, Monte Rotondo and Monte Priora.

In the village visitors can see the small Pieve di S. Maria Maddalena. The hike to the Rifugio del Fargno also starts from Pintura: about 6 km along the road, with 500 m of elevation gain, so some fitness is needed, and before setting out it is worth checking that there are no road closure orders.
