PROGRAMME:

08:30 AM Meeting at the Passo Daone parking area
Route description: At Passo Daone, a mountain pass frequented by migratory birds heading south in autumn, we will make our way towards Monte Amolo, crossing typical Alpine landscapes dotted with blueberry bushes, rhododendrons and flower-filled clearings.
Accompanied by the songs of woodland birds and, with a little luck, keeping an eye out for birds of prey and other wildlife, we will return to Passo Daone along a varied and scenic circular route.
Half-day activity.
