Pollino: Hiking Trails, Views and Mountains

Pollino: Trails and Panoramic Views

Several trails meet in Pollino. From Pollino, further trails lead to the Cappella di San Giuseppe and the Belvedere di Pollino. The Volon-Trail Premeno is a 13.5-kilometre circular route with 645 metres of positive elevation gain. Pollino is the last district reached by the trail; a second refreshment station is set up there. For planning this route, the distance and positive elevation gain are important. Anyone planning only a short section of the trail will have a different timeframe with the 20 minutes to the Cappella di San Giuseppe or the Belvedere di Pollino than on the circular route.
