Grotta del Cavallone

Grotta del Cavallone is the show cave of the eastern Majella, reached from the Lama dei Peligni area. It is sometimes called the Grotta della Figlia di Jorio, a name linked to Gabriele d'Annunzio's play and the romantic mountain imagery of Abruzzo.

The approach is part of the appeal: you climb into a limestone world of cliffs, woods, and cool air before entering the cave. Opening times can be seasonal, so check locally rather than assuming it is available year-round.
