A journey between earth and sky, in the heart of summer. We'll walk together along an easy trail to reach Pianoro Le Forme at the foot of the Mainarde, where we'll stop to admire the colors of the August sunset as day slowly gives way to night. As the sky grows darker, our journey among the stars will begin.Far from the lights of the city, we'll observe the wonders of the deep sky through the telescope, discovering stars, constellations and the Universe's most fascinating objects.

Highlights

The sky above Rifugio Campitelli holds onto a darkness that's increasingly rare: here you can see the Milky Way with the naked eye, no telescope required.
With the telescope aimed at deep sky objects, star clusters and nebulae become visible even to those who have never observed the stars before tonight.
From the plateau, the view stretches to the Mainarde range and Monte Meta, which trace the Park's most striking silhouette in the light of the August sunset.

Experiencing a stargazing evening at Pianoro Campitelli is a simple experience, but one that largely takes place in the dark and requires a bit of care. The trail presents no technical difficulties, but we'll be walking at dusk and then in darkness: sturdy shoes suited to mountain walking are therefore required; the headlamp is provided by us.

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.
