Itinerary
After meeting with all participants near the Isera Refuge, at the foot of the Pania di Corfino, which we will see by looking up and having a short briefing on how to face the excursion, we will begin our journey through a beautiful beech forest going up to a grassy pass that will offer us a first panorama on some Apennine peaks.The path is easy and pleasant. We’ll go up on the main ridge from where the view also extends to the South where the chain of the Apuan Alps is shown in all its entirety and beauty.
Below the characteristic village of Corfino and the whole Garfagnana valley, on the horizon the skyline of the Apuan Alps, this will be the point where we will wait for the sunset.In the meantime, we will be able to relax greeting the day that ends, we’ll be right in front of the cross of the summit of the Pania di Corfino, at an altitude of 1603 meters, one of the most scenic places in the Garfagnana.
This will be the ideal time to spot some herds of mouflon and if we are lucky, the golden eagle that nests among these rocks.
We will begin our descent at dusk, using the headlamps made available by the organization.
