The Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park is an enchanting place where wilderness is offered in many unexpected shapes and colours. The place which more than any other jealously guards its origins, rejects anything too noisy, and still today embraces that ancient connection between humans and nature. A trip to this region could result unforgettable from many points of view, but without a doubt it can help us to rediscover a fleeting inner peace.
Of course, a good percentage of the participants to the guided hikes in Abruzzo are single travellers.
Our tours are usually made up of singles, couples and small groups of 2 or 3 friends, most of whom are between 25 and 50 years old. These adventures are suitable for solo travellers and attract people with a common mindset: a love of nature, a desire to go further and meet like-minded people.
The minimum recommended age for the hike through the forests and springs of Val Fondillo in Abruzzo is 6 years with previous hiking experience.
You are permitted to bring your dog with you on the guided hike through the forests and springs of the Camosciara Valley. If we love our dogs, we should also love wild animals. In order to protect them and avoid disturbing them, certain precautions are necessary. This is why, in the Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park and many other protected areas, there are paths and Riserva Integrale areas where our four-legged friends can accompany us on a leash only.
The route offers the possibility of lunch and refreshments at the Camosciara service area, where we will return at the end of the walk.
