Snowshoeing in the Pollino National Park

Snowshoes on the silent plateaus of the snow-capped massif

When winter covers the Pollino plains in white, ciaspole (snowshoes) become the most natural way to explore the mountain. Walking on fresh snow we will cross sleeping beech forests and silent plateaus, reaching the Loricati pines covered in frost with a panorama that will take your breath away. An experience accessible even to those who have never worn the ciaspole: all you need are trained legs and the desire to experience the park in its rarest and most evocative guise.
