Winter activities in Pollino

Winter activities in the Pollino Park

Most of you know us for activities like rafting, but the truth is that Pollino Park is a huge playground with tons of opportunities to practice outdoor sports all year round and for all levels. For a few weeks it has started snowing in our mountains and for this reason we want to show you the proposals we have prepared for experiencing nature in winter.

Ciaspole

ciaspole (also called snowshoes or snowshoes) are implements that help you walk on snow - more or less fresh - without sinking and without slipping when it is frozen. But how are they made? They usually have an aluminum frame and a support surface for the boot with a closure system to keep the foot secure.

Thanks to these "shoes for the feet" it will be possible to reach places that would be unthinkable to reach by walking on the snow. The Pollino Park is a very wild territory but thanks to the ciaspole the snow is pure fun and an experience accessible to all thanks to the numerous possible routes.

In addition to the ciaspole you will also be supplied with gaiters so that the snow does not get inside your personal shoes to which the ciaspole will be attached. We recommend clothing suitable for snow, sunglasses and trekking shoes or waterproof shoes.

The ciaspole are an inclusive sport suitable for everyone, if you are a couple, a family or a large group do not hesitate to contact us, we will help you plan an unforgettable excursion.

Trekking

Walking in the mountains of the Pollino Park is one of the most popular activities in our area because there are many routes with breathtaking views and unique vegetation, given the particular position of the park between the two seas, the Ionian and the Tyrrhenian. Thanks to the trekking it is possible to admire the Loricato Pine, symbol of the Park, which, in all of Italy, can only be seen here, in the Pollino! We offer different routes based on the age of the participants and the climatic conditions; during excursions you will always be accompanied by expert and certified guides.

E-bike and Mountain Bike

Cycling out of season is the best time to enjoy uncontaminated nature and travel the less traveled paths. However, it must be said, our territory is so large (the Pollino Park is the largest protected area in Italy) that, even in high season, it is possible to feel at one with uncontaminated nature. We at River Tribe live the area 365 days a year and have instructors and guides available even in winter. Furthermore, our base is located on the cycle route of the Calabria Parks, a beautiful initiative of the Region that unites three large national parks and a regional park of the Calabria. In fact, we offer support services to cycle tourists and guided tours starting from our base.

For each season we specialize in creating the perfect holiday, including overnight stays, transfer services and meals in the best restaurants in our area. Send an email to info@rivertribe.it and tell us about yourself: what you like to do and the age of the participants: we will offer you the best to experience an outdoor holiday in complete safety, always accompanied by expert and certified guides.
