Celano-Aielli Gorges in briefThe Celano-Aielli Gorges are a canyon crossed by trail 12. Access is regulated, so booking, opening, walking direction and required equipment must be checked on the official page immediately before visiting.
A real gorge
High walls, uneven ground, possible rockfall and patchy phone signal separate this route from an urban walk. Rain, thaw and wind can make it unsuitable even when the entrance looks calm.
Rules come before the itinerary
Dates, quotas and procedures can change. The Park's page is the current reference and overrides stories, old tracks and printed plans; helmets and other requirements are not optional accessories.
From the canyon to Val d'Arano
The gorge connects the Celano side with the more open landscape towards Ovindoli and Val d'Arano. A traverse still requires a planned return, timing and transport rather than an improvised second exit.
