The route of trail 551 (Arquata del Tronto)

Pretare is at about 920 m. The first 700 meters are almost level, and after 150 meters there is a drinking water point right on the trail: a good place to fill water bottles.

Then the gradient changes. In the last one and a half kilometers the trail gains more than 200 m, with a steady climb and no breaks, up to the pass, at about 1,165 m. Near the end there is another water point; just above the pass is the summit of Colle Galluccio (1,197 m).

Trail 551 (Arquata del Tronto) technical details

The trail is managed by the Ascoli Piceno section of CAI.

In Pretare there are a parking lot about 200 m from the start and a picnic area. Beside the first section, about 250 m away, are the ruins of the Old Kiln, an old kiln, with a few tables.
