Campitello Matese, located in the municipality of San Massimo, is a renowned summer and winter resort at 1,430 meters above sea level. Appreciated above all as a ski resort, it boasts 40 kilometers of slopes, making it one of the most important in Southern Italy. Surrounded by the Matese mountain range that connects the Adriatic and the Tyrrhenian Seas, its position is privileged, immersed in extraordinary natural landscapes, such as the green woods that surround it.
This location is ideal for those seeking tranquility and a deep connection with nature. Its mountains offer multiple opportunities for excursions, walks on foot, on horseback or by mountain bike. Each season offers different scenarios: in spring colorful blooms, in summer the coolness of the forests, in autumn the warmth of the leaves and in winter the whiteness of the snow.
One of the most evocative places to visit is the “Bosco di pietra”, where centuries-old beech trees grow among the rocks, creating an enchanting atmosphere. Here you can see fossil deposits dating back to the Mesozoic, when the area was submerged by the sea.
In the summer, Campitello Matese is a destination for climbing and hiking enthusiasts. The trails lead to breathtaking places such as the Colle del Caprio refuge, Mount Gallinola and Mount Miletto, the highest point of the Matese (2,050 meters), which offers a panoramic view that ranges from the Adriatic to the Gulf of Naples.
In winter, the town transforms into one of the main ski destinations in Central-Southern Italy. In addition to the 40 kilometers of alpine ski slopes, the area also offers 15 kilometers of cross-country ski trails, making it an ideal destination for winter sports enthusiasts. With artificial snow and modern chairlifts, Campitello Matese is perfect for both a winter and summer vacation.
The numerous accommodation facilities, the organization of suppliers and those who sell and rent skis, snowboards and snowshoes make it easy to approach the mountain even for beginners or for those who want to enjoy it for a different day.
