Sunday, May 25, a large group of CAI "G. De Lorenzo" Lagonegro, including the couple TheScazzariddoFace Domenico & Domenico, has become the protagonist of a long hike across the highest peaks of the Park Pollino, as well as the entire southern Apennines. The group gathered at the
dell'Impiso Hill, and was then stolen towards plans Vacquarro (1453 m). So far, the pace set by our mister Fabio Limongi be considered rather mild, which suggests a path much longer than we had anticipated. From here you follow a path enters a wood, which sometimes opens in enchanting places, cut in half by a stream. First stop Spezzavummola expected near the source, at an altitude of 1665 meters. Birth by the break, you can start the plan Gaudolino (1684 meters), which is the pleasing sight of a herd of wild pigs (at a distance Safety, of course), about thirty seconds Fabio, who, undaunted, is considerably closer for some shots, which among other things caught the attention of feral pigs, which, frightened, moved away towards the crests of Pollinelle . The scene that opens here in our eyes is nothing short of fabulous: a plateau green, amid the typical pine Loricati and the bright green of tall shrubs, interspersed with white firs, the green summit of the Serra del Prete above the floor to referred to the contrast of the white of the snow that falls into the canyons, and down the floor, a wooden hut with a small fence! It then continues to the summit of Pollino, taking a steep path that leads us, in the pines Lorica, west of the summit. Going up the first encounter snowfields, located mainly in the valley and points in the furrows of karst. One of these, applied to the side of a crevasse, from which we could estimate a thickness of 7-8 meters of snow layered sheets as if they had more seats on each other. As a precautionary measure we decided to "circumnavigate" the snowfield to avoid the formation of new cracks and then help us just by Fabio, which would mean, beyond the fool, even the stern rebuke of our mystery! And so we come on the top of Pollino (2248 m) which occur on the classic picture of the ritual, and then we move quickly towards the Dolcedorme. We descend along the c
South remains up to 2000 meters, then go back and sit under a pine Loricato to feed, before the final ascent. It starts like this, and we arrive at an altitude of 2267 meters of altitude of the Serra Dolcedorme, as mentioned earlier, the highest peak in the southern Apennines. From here comes a remarkable scene to 360 °, ranging from the coast of Taranto metapontino and east, to the Sybaris in South-East, the chain of Calabria in the south, the dam of Tarsia, the Coast Range with Cozzo del Pellegrino in evidence south-west, the nearest peaks Orsomarso Coppola and Paola west, the cities of Castrovillari and Morano Calabro, the Walnut Valley Northwest, with Sirino rutted snow, Mount Alps to the North, the dam of Senise NE. Not to mention the feeling of dominion over the tops of the Pollino, with the peaks of the Serra and Serra di Crispo Ciavole. You go down this time from the opposite side, crossing a couple of snowfields. How to tell the wonderful feeling of walking on the snow in shorts, the pleasant chill that it demands the coolness of snow on the calves when the beads sink in snow layer ... a different and fun for the descent, usually the most part usually trekking boring! We came then in the plans of Pollino, and we stopped One moment at a karstic sinkhole, which gave off plumes of steam for the temperature difference between relevant internal and external. Continuing the journey along the planes, thanks to the fatigue and the consequent
and little clarity, we face a moment of relative difficulty of identifying the path that will lead us to our base, in practice we are facing a sudden wave, and all off by top of the hill is as if we had the feeling of being reached, but soon we realize that our path has not crossed the path that interests us. Undertaken some much-needed path, we walk by the fountain of Rummo, where we supply our water bottles with fresh water before continuing our descent to Vacquarro plans, and from there to dell'Impiso Hill, where I parked the car!
