Itinerary almost entirely developing in a wild environment, crossing only one town center (Caramanico) and few other refreshment points. It offers the most complete overall view of the territory and environments of the Park, since it crosses all its biotopes, from the areas dominated by broadleaf tree woodlands, pastures, and cultivated fields, to the high-mountain deserted scree areas which, with their moon-like aspect, conceal real treasures of animal and vegetable life.
