The climb from Paganica is very long. At Fonte Cerreto (1100 metres and the site of the cable car) there are the last fountains, where you can refuel with water, then there is no more until the arrival at the Campo Imperatore Hotel (2130 metres). There is a splendid view of the entire Gran Sasso on the L'Aquila side from Campo Imperatore, where the final climb begins with challenging gradients of around 10％. At the finish is the bar next to the cable car, the Astronomical Observatory and the start of the walk to the summit of Corno Grande.
La salita da Paganica è molto lunga. A Fonte Cerreto (metri 1100 e sede della Funivia) ci sono le ultime fontane, dove fare rifornimento d'acqua, poi non ce ne sono più fino all'arrivo dell'Albergo di Campo Imperatore (metri 2130). Splendida vista di tutto il Gran Sasso lato L'Aquila da Campo Imperatore, dove inizia la salita finale con pendenze impegnative intorno al 10％. All'arrivo c'è il bar a fianco della Funivia, l'Osservatorio Astronomico e l'inizio del tratto a piedi fino alla vetta del Corno Grande.
