The Laceno Plateau, situated at around 1,000 metres above sea level, is an extraordinary natural area featuring a karst lake, a ski resort, and an extensive and well-maintained network of hiking trails. Numerous hotels and dining facilities are available in the area.

Points of interest include the Cave of San Guglielmo (the endpoint of Stage 4 of the Cammino), the karst lake itself, and the Caliendo caves (which require speleological equipment). Notable tourist facilities include the network of mountain trails, a horse-riding centre, and the chairlift that ascends Monte Rajamagra.

Laceno is well worth a longer stay, allowing visitors to enjoy, through guided excursions, the many wide-ranging views of the mountains surrounding the karst lake. Particularly noteworthy is Monte Cervialto (1,809 metres above sea level), the highest peak in the Monti Picentini range and the fourth tallest in the Campania region. From its summit, one can see both the Adriatic Sea (including Barletta and the Gargano) and the Tyrrhenian Sea (from Paestum to the Gulf of Naples).
