Top Rome Cable Car Tours

This private day trip explores the rugged beauty and historical depth of the Abruzzo region, centered on the mountain city of L’Aquila. Traveling from Rome in a spacious 8-seater vehicle, journey into the Apennine Mountains to visit Forte Spagnolo, an imposing 16th-century Spanish fortress. Housed within its bastions is the National Museum of Abruzzo, showcasing significant archaeological finds and a world-famous prehistoric mammoth skeleton. Next, head to the Gran Sasso massif, taking a high-altitude cable car from Fonte Cerreto to the Campo Imperatore plateau. Known as "Italy’s Little Tibet," this vast alpine landscape offers breathtaking panoramic views of the highest Apennine peaks, a historic mountain hotel, and an astronomical observatory located at over 2,100 meters. With a professional driver managing the mountain roads, enjoy a perfect balance of medieval history and dramatic natural scenery before returning to Rome in the evening.
