Located at 1890 meters above sea level, the Sella di Leonessa is an Apennine pass near the summit of Monte Terminillo. From here the view of the rock face of the mountain is impressive. Nearby and easily accessible is the Rifugio Sebastiani, the starting point for excursions in the Reatini Mountains.

It is one of the most popular passes for cyclists in central Italy, and beyond. Both sides, from Leonessa and from Vazia, are challenging both for their length and for the average gradient of around 9%. Terminillo is the mountain of the Romans and is famous because after the Second World War, for some years, it was a popular resort for VIPs. It is also the mountain where many adventures of heroic cycling took place, such as the victory of Gino Bartali in the 1936 Giro d'Italia time trial.
