You will be accompanied by an AIGAE environmental guide on this uniquely fascinating excursion and will walk along ancient paths in the enchanted beech forest. If you love photography, this will be the right opportunity for unforgettable shots with the colours of autumn and the unspoilt nature of the Matese.
The route is pleasant and suitable for everyone; you will start from the heart of the forest until you reach the panoramic terrace of Monte Orso (1385 m).
Starting from the Rifugio Valle Di Santa Maria, in the mountain area of the municipality of Piedimonte Matese, you will begin the route along the ancient beech forest that will lead you to Pianellone (1390 m), a large plateau where wild fauna and flora will give you moments of pure emotion amidst the sounds and colours of the autumn forest.
Continuing along the trails you will reach the renowned Monte Orso belvedere where you can enjoy a well-deserved break and admire a breathtaking view of Lake Matese, accompanying this unique moment with some excellent organic mulled wine.
