Already used since the Neanderthals era, as several worked stone tools testimony prove, the Ariano Saddle is the Apennine pass which in correspondence of the plateau of Camporeale, at an altitude of 600 meters, connects the Ufita-Miscano basin to the Cervaro Valley.
Close to Ariano Irpino, the pass is part of the very old important tratturo (mountain grassy paths) Pescasseroli- Candela through its fork, the small path Camporeale-Foggia which passes through the plateau of Camporeale..
