The hike has no technical difficulties, it takes place on mountain trails in wooded areas and meadows with easy climbs and descents.
A nice hike will bring us to an observation point, from where you can see the main peaks of the Central Apennines and admire the patches of old-growth forest of the Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park. Then downhill to the Terraegna cabin, where we will take a relaxing break and where we can eat lunch, immersed in the big meadows which are used by deer, foxes and wolves.
In the Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park scientists have found the oldest beech forests of Europe. It is a complex and very rich ecosystem, whose functioning we just start to understand. Now we want to tell you its story.

Appointment in Pescasseroli and meeting with the guide. Short trip by car to the town of Bisegna. In the centre’s typical little streets we can “read” the history and the traditions of the past. Crossing the Atessa valley, we will reach a beautiful area characterised by ancient forests and dominated by the ridge of the Montagna Grande. When we arrive at the Rifugio di Terraegna we can taste local products and the typical traditional Abruzzo pastries.
