The Gran Sasso, a part of the Apennines mountain, situating in the northern part of Abruzzo is the home of beautiful scenery and biodiversity. The unpaved walking trails on the Gran Sasso mountain help people getting around the mountainous area, as means of leisure. Walking through different elevations enables people to be exposed to stunning sceneries of the area. However, the access to the stunning views allows only physically well people to experience. This project questions on why these stunning sceneries are limited to only people who are fit enough to climb up the high and dangerous mountain. How can these mountain sceneries be accessible by anyone who can move. The design proposal responds to the need for accessibility and introduces the beautiful scenery of Gran Sasso to both local and international visitors. Developing the exist-ing steep pathway allow almost every tourist, including disabled people, experience hiking is the ultimate goal of the project.
