Pollino Hiking - hikes in the Pollino National Park [FD]

highest peaks, the roof of the Mediterranean: Serra Dolcedorme (2267 m), Monte Pollino (2248 m), Serra del Prete (2181 m), Serra Ciavole (2130 m), Serra Crispo (2054 m). Every hike on the peaks of the Park has a unique narrative that winds through transhumance trails, karst depressions, traces of large mammals, and the flight of majestic gliders. From the Colle dell'Impiso pass, every route follows the classic paths without particular difficulties (but which still require good physical preparation: over 14 km in length and about 600 - 700 m of elevation gain). The mountainous landscape summarizes the entire territory: from the Ionian coast to the Tyrrhenian coast, from the Sila in the south to the Lucanian hinterland in the north. Breathtaking 360° view! Among the limestone landscapes and karst formations of the Pollino Geopark stand out curious and fascinating plant works shaped by the weather: the "pino loricati" (the Park's symbol tree, an Italian uniqueness). Contorted and wind and snow-shaped plurisecular sculptures that resist the high altitudes in memory of the places and time.
