Full description

Much more than a snowshoe hike in Abruzzo!

In fact, it is anature experience in the beautiful snow-covered setting of theQuarto di Santa Chiara plateau: together with an environmental hiking guide, you will walk to discover the area accompanied by in-depth descriptions.

A 2-hour experience, spent in Abruzzo's nature!

What we will do

I will be waiting for you 20 minutes before the selected time at the meeting point in Palena (CH). Welcoming you on your arrival will be me, your environmental hiking guide!

Once all the participants have gathered, I will proceed with checking individualequipment and handing over theequipment. This will be followed by a briefing, during which I will give you more information about what we will be doing, where we will be going and what we will see. We will then be ready to venture into the beautiful setting of the Altipiani Maggiori d'Abruzzo, not far from the Roccaraso ski facilities. And at the weekend, we will also be able to witness the departure of the famous'Transiberiana d'Italia'!

With snowshoes on our feet, we will walk on theQuarto di Santa Chiara plateau at an altitude of 1,250 metres: you will be able to say that you have "walked on water" because under our feet there will be what, in summer, is a lake! In the course of our exploration we will also encounter a sinkhole, from which a river originates that has created a unique microclimate; of course, I will not fail to provide you with in-depth descriptions of the area.

Finally, we will return to the meeting point by retracing the same route, which measures 1.5 km and +10 metres in altitude difference. The snowshoe hike will last 1 .5 hours; the experience will last a total of 2 hours.
