The long crossing of the Valle di Fara up to Monte Amaro is one of the most challenging for the length of the route and considered the 2400 meters in altitude to be tackled: the highest you can do in the entire Apennine range!
The extreme isolation, the bivouac in the cave and the bivouac in Monte Amaro make the experience extreme, unique and unforgettable.

Informazioni
BECAUSE OF THE FEW PUBLIC TRANSPORT IN HOLIDAYS: ALL THE CROSSES PREVIOUS TO LEAVE A CAR AT THE POINT OF ARRIVAL. The points of arrival of the crossings are designed to make minimum travel by car.
All excursions and crossings provide for great lengths and gradients. They are suitable for those who already have mountain experience. The bivouacs provide a great spirit of adaptation. The equipment must always be carefully studied to reduce weight and keep warm especially on overnight stays.

Very demanding. Excellent training and adaptability.
The program can be modified or interrupted by the mountain guide due to the insufficient technical level of the participants or for meteorological reasons.
