An exciting dive into the ephemeral realm of colours in the beech woods of the Apennine National Park
Date: 11 October 2025 at 9.30 a.m.
Location: Bosco di Corniglio (Pr)

A circular hike that will take us through the realm of autumn colours. A few steps through the chestnut grove before a long ride through the beech forest ablaze with autumn colours, passing panoramic viewpoints offering beautiful views of the valley and veritable tunnels of vegetation where we will be immersed in colour to the point of almost breathing it in. Halfway through the day, at the Lagdei refuge, there will be time to eat something and refresh ourselves (at the refuge, by booking with the guide, or with a packed lunch), and then we will begin the return journey, which will take us along a faster path, but one that will still offer many colourful emotions.

Meeting point at 9.30 a.m. at Castagneto Alto di Bosco (those who have booked will be given the exact location for their satnav).
Elevation gain 400 m, duration 4 hours excluding stops, length 10 km.
Hiking clothing and footwear, fleece and windbreaker required, walking sticks recommended.
Minimum 5, maximum 25 people.
The hike will take place even in uncertain weather conditions, as the weather is often changeable and can clear up or close in within a few hours. In case of bad weather, the guide will cancel the hike and notify those who have booked.
