Trekking in the Pollino National Park

Serra Dolcedorme and Serra delle Ciavole are proposed for trained people; the Garden of the Gods maintains a duration of the day but has average difficulty. Those who prefer a less sporty experience can choose the Cultural Trekking, the path with the donkey along the Lao or family trekking. The Night Trekking instead changes the point of view, because it takes place after sunset.

The stated level is an orientation and does not replace comparison with the guide. Before booking it is best to communicate experience, age of participants, any needs and habit to walk for more hours. Footwear, water and protection from wind or rain remain essential even in summer.

The Pollino massif is on the border between Calabria and Basilicata. The UNESCO indicates Serra Dolcedorme, with its 2.267 meters, as the highest peak in the area; The Park Authority also distinguishes the paths of the Calabrian side from that of the lucan side. This geography makes it important to always check the meeting point and access before departure.

To plan independently you start from the official cartography of the Park Authority. During a guided exit, itinerary and times can be corrected for weather, visibility, background status or temporary closures: priority is to preserve quality of experience and safety margin.
