Partenza da quota 1000 mt. s.l.m. (dagli impianti sciistici di Palena CH), percorreremo una lunga carrareccia, incontreremo sulla nostra strada la bellissima "Fonte di Coccia" e dopo circa 1h e 30 di cammino raggiungeremo il "Guado di Coccia" a 1600 mt. circa, da lì ci dirigeremo in direzione Nord attraversando le imponenti e ripide "Piste" di Palena, raggiungeremo Serra Carracino e dopo la seconda pista finalmente la tanto attesa vetta di Cima di Tavola Rotonda 2403 mt. s.l.m. Dalla vetta potremo ammirare la splendida visuale della Valle Peligna e quasi tutte le cime del Massiccio della Maiella e del Morrone; compresa quella di Monte Amaro e del Gran Sasso. Dopo una breve sosta in vetta raggiungeremo il piccolo ma suggestivo Canyon della Sfischia, di lì poco distante. Indosseremo i caschi di protezione (inclusi nel costo di partecipazione) ed entreremo in questa meravigliosa unicità della Maiella.

Easy
Perfect for those who want to enjoy nature without too much effort. Short, well-marked trails with gentle slopes. No technical difficulties, just a desire to walk, breathe in the fresh air, and share the day with a group.
Ideal for: Beginners, families, those who want to take their first steps in trekking.
Easy Plus
A little faster pace, but still accessible. Slightly longer routes or with a few more hills, requiring some walking experience. The terrain is always easy and safe.
Ideal for: Those who walk regularly and want to challenge themselves a little.
Intermediate
Here we enter the world of true trekking. Steeper climbs, stretches on uneven or longer trails that require stamina. The physical effort is medium to high, and the fatigue is noticeable... but so is the satisfaction!
Ideal for: Those who already have experience and a good level of physical fitness.
Intermediate Plus
When the mountains begin to take their toll. More challenging routes in terms of gradient or duration, with technical sections or uneven terrain. Even a medium elevation gain can be tough if concentrated in just a few kilometers
Ideal for: Trained hikers, accustomed to walking on mountain paths
Difficult — this outing
Level suitable for experienced hikers with excellent stamina and surefootedness. The physical challenge is high, and there may be steep sections or possible exposure, which is always noted in the hike description. Perfect for those who enjoy pushing their limits and conquering significant peaks.
Ideal for: Those who already have experience in an Alpine environment and want to challenge themselves.
Difficult Plus
Only for true Guidders with their Wild Spirit at its peak Long routes, significant elevation gain (over 1,100 m), and technical or exposed terrain. Excellent physical preparation, sure-footedness, and the ability to manage fatigue at high altitude are required.
Ideal for: Highly trained and experienced hikers in the mountains.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Samuele, an environmental hiking guide. I've loved mountains and high altitude since I was small: I reached my first summit at 8 years old, and from that moment a long love story with nature and hiking began. Curious about the natural and geological world, I study the Abruzzo landscape and in particular the Maiella National Park, today the Maiella Geopark, a UNESCO Global Geopark. In 2022 I took part in the first training workshop for the Maiella-UNESCO Geopoints, becoming a Geopoint operator. Alongside hiking I study history and art: in 2021 I graduated in Cultural Heritage at the Gabriele D'Annunzio University of Chieti. A keen skier, my hobbies are fishing and mushroom picking. I'll be waiting in Abruzzo to show you the best of this land. 🥾 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
We only ask for feedback from people who were really there.
