Pass at Monte Motola

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Starting point for climbing Monte Puglie.
Parking for 2-3 cars is available.

Monte Puglie (sometimes called Cocuzzo delle Puglie) is a peak approximately 1,465-1,475 meters high located in Campania, within the Cilento, Vallo di Diano and Alburni National Park. Known for its wild nature and expansive views, it can be reached via challenging hiking trails, often starting from Passo della Sentinella (San Rufo) or San Paolo di Teggiano, passing through places such as Sella del Corticato and the Bosco Vetusto del Cozzo del Rosieddo.
Here are the main details about Monte Puglie:
Location and Characteristics: It is located in the province of Salerno. The relief features elongated ridges and, in some areas, beech forests.
Hiking: The trails are generally considered difficult or for experts, with steep and sometimes exposed sections. A common route is the ring that touches the Cozzo del Rosieddo (1427 m) and Monte Puglie.

Near Cocuzzo delle Puglie

Highlight • Summit

Near the "Cocuzzo delle Puglie". We decided not to continue because the rocks were slippery and the heavy fog would have obscured the view.
