WHY THIS HIKE

Summiting Pizzo Arera

A summer itinerary that starts from the parking lot (after a toll road) and ascends along the grassy ridge, emerging from the last sparse trees and reaching the Capanna 2000 refuge, where we can have a coffee before the ascent to Pizzo. After leaving the refuge behind us, we climb along a steep, rocky slope and, near the false summit, we will have to face the only slightly more technical point: in fact, we will have to climb an easy ladder with chains. The view repays the breath lost on the ascent and allows us to feel on top of the world! Itinerary suitable for those who already have some experience in the mountains and are physically trained.

Come alone, leave with new friends
