Embark on the Civita – Pollino National Park – loop tour, a moderate hike that takes about 4 hours and 4 minutes to complete. This 8.0-mile (13.0 km) route features an elevation gain of 1553 feet (473 metres) as you traverse a landscape of dramatic mountain peaks and unique geological formations. You will encounter deep river gorges, including the impressive Raganello Gorge with its overhanging rocky walls and the picturesque Devil's Bridge. The path itself varies, with sections of unpaved, paved, and gravel surfaces, winding through ancient forests of silver fir and beech trees.
To enjoy this moderate hike, you should have good fitness and be sure-footed, as the varied terrain requires careful navigation. The trail starts from the charming village of Civita, which offers panoramic views as you begin your journey. While the research does not specify trailhead access or parking details, planning for a full half-day outing is advisable given the duration and elevation.
This loop tour is set within Pollino National Park, Italy's largest national park, offering a pristine wilderness experience. The park is known for its diverse ecosystems, from dolomitic rocks and limestone formations to lush plateaus and high-altitude pastures. A highlight of the route is the chance to see the iconic Loricato Pines, often called "living fossils," which are a protected species unique to this region. The village of Civita itself adds a cultural layer, with its rich history and distinct Albanian heritage.
