Hiking

An excellent starting point for many treks in the Lucanian Apennines.
It is also an excellent place to enjoy a well-deserved post-trekking break.

The Monte Arioso Loop from Fontana delle Brecce offers a moderate hiking adventure, covering 6.2 miles (10.0 km) with an elevation gain of 1458 feet (444 metres). You can expect to spend about 3 hours and 15 minutes on the trail. As you hike, you will wind through dense beech forests, providing ample shade for much of the journey, and pass wide clearings used for animal grazing. From the summit of Monte Arioso, you can enjoy expansive views that often include the Lucanian Dolomites, the Alburni mountains, and the vast massifs of Pollino and Sirino.

This popular route is generally classified as a moderate hike, requiring a good level of physical fitness and sure-footedness. The starting point for this loop is typically the CAI "Fontana delle Brecce" refuge, which is a well-known access point for trekkers in the area. The paths are mostly accessible, making it a straightforward choice for your next outing.

This trail is a rewarding option within the Appennino Lucano-Val d'Agri-Lagonegrese National Park. The path itself is a mix of beaten trails, dirt roads, and some undergrowth, offering varied terrain. Don't forget to look for the logbook at the top of Monte Arioso to record your visit, a unique detail that adds to the experience of reaching the summit.
