Cavallone Caves
Where stone meets sky and mystery runs deep
Step on the cable car that climbs the rugged slopes of the Maiella and let the panorama open up around you, vast, wild and unforgettable. Perched over 1,300 metres above sea level, in the spectacular Taranta Valley, between Lama dei Peligni and Taranta Peligna, the Cavallone Caves invite you into a world shaped by time and nature.
As you pass through the panoramic entrance, you will enter a hidden reign of stalactites, stalagmites, impressive chambers and winding tunnels. Guided tours take you along a one-kilometre-long path, equipped with walkways and soft lighting that reveal the cave's extraordinary details while preserving its natural charm.
Inside, the constant temperature of 10°C (50°F) makes the visit refreshing and comfortable all year round. Among surreal limestone formations, ancient water drops and walls etched by time, you will feel as if you have entered a world apart, peaceful, otherworldly and full of wonder.
The Cavallone caves are perfect for families, nature lovers and anyone looking for something out of the ordinary. Surrounded by the unspoilt landscapes of the Maiella National Park, they provide not just a destination, but a profound and immersive experience.
More than just a hike into the underground, visiting the Cavallone caves is a journey through the millennia, where stone and water have written their own history, slowly, patiently and beautifully.
