Overview

The massif covers a map area of about 93.29 km² (36.02 sq mi), with a minimum elevation of 450 m (1,480 ft), a maximum elevation of 2,249 m (7,379 ft) and a mean elevation of 1,000 m (3,300 ft).[1]

All the highest peaks (including the Monte Petroso, 2,247 m, Monte Cavallo, 2,039 m and Monte Mare, 2,020 m) show traces of Quaternary glaciation. Valleys in the chain include those of the Melfa and Mollarino rivers in the province of Frosinone, and the Rio Torto in the province of L'Aquila.

The southern part of the massif, on the boundary between Molise and Lazio, is the Monti delle Mainarde. Here, historically, the human presence has been not seasonal as in the highest slopes.
