Embark on an easy 3.4-mile (5.5 km) loop through the ancient beech and holm oak forests of Aspromonte National Park. This pleasant hike, with a gentle elevation gain of 439 feet (134 metres), takes about 1 hour and 35 minutes to complete. You will traverse mostly even terrain, though some dirt roads may be uneven, leading you past the scenic Laghetto di Crocco, also known as Zomaro Lake.
Your journey begins at Rifugio il Boschetto, a historic refuge that serves as a hub for local excursions. The Zomaro Visitor Center is also nearby, offering insights into the area's rich flora. This trail is well-suited for families and casual walkers looking for a relaxing day in nature, with the refuge providing comfortable facilities and even camping options if you wish to extend your stay.
Situated at 1,000 meters above sea level in the Zomaro plains, this area is known for its abundant springs and tranquil natural setting. The Rifugio il Boschetto, originally built in 1931, is a notable feature, providing a self-sufficient base with solar power and fresh drinking water. The region is also part of the historic Sentiero del Brigante, a longer route popular for hiking, cycling, or horseback riding.
