The inhabitants of Abruzzo and the neighboring region of Lazio have their own local observation related to this Passo Lanciano. When the sun sets in the spring behind the mighty Majella massif, it quickly gets dark on the Abruzzo side (i.e., where Passo Lanciano is located) and dusk falls, while on the other side of the mountains, in Lazio, it is still bright daylight. Locals joke that at the same moment, one half of Italy goes to sleep, and the other goes for an aperitivo.

The place offers breathtaking views but the sea view is "fantastic" and extends 180°.

If you go beyond the end of the paved road, after the telecommunications facilities of the blockhouse, you'll find a paved road that ends on another stretch of gravel road, leading to a sort of small terrace, where you can admire a 360° panorama. A short distance away, you can see a small chapel dedicated to Our Lady of the Snows... from there, you'll find trails for hiking or, for a while, for a gravel bike ride.

The church is very beautiful and all the surrounding streets are very quiet.
