Alla fine della salita (abbastanza pedalabile) c'è il Valico di Capo La Serra, da dove si ammira un bellissimo panorama del Corno Grande del Gran Sasso con il Monte Prena ed altri monti. La successiva discesa porta a Castel del Monte e si può ammirare un ampio panorama della bassa Valle del fiume Aterno.
