Attention: the landscape is always different
One of the most fascinating aspects of this guided hike to Castelluccio di Norcia is the ever-changing landscape. Each season offers different views: in winter, the trail is blanketed in snow, in spring, small temporary ponds appear, reflecting the sky, while in early summer, the meadows transform into grassy expanses with an almost steppe-like appearance. In autumn, however, nature alights with intense colors and the forest offers the magic of foliage. A journey that is never the same and that surprises with every return.
