Giardino degli Dei Trek
Serra di Crispo, the Pini Loricati plateau: the symbolic place of Pollino.
The "Garden of the Gods" is the name by which the Serra di Crispo plateau is known, where the Loricati pines - true natural monuments that survived the glaciations - create an almost unreal landscape. Starting from Colle dell'Impiso we will cross the Pollino plains up to this stone and wood amphitheater, among the most photographed views of the park.
Why choose it
- The plateau symbol of the Loricati pines
- Departure from Colle dell'Impiso and Pollino plans
