Meeting of participants at 09:45 AM at the Sci Club Aterno Pescara base camp in Gravare (1,580 m a.s.l., located in front of the Gravare - Toppe del Tesoro cable car base station). Meeting with the AIGAE Guide and equipment distribution (snowshoes and poles) for rental users.

Travel Tour Overview
Roccaraso Snowshoe Tour: Cima Gravare di Sotto Ridge Climb
The excursion starts from Gravare (1,580 m a.s.l.), with meeting time set for 09:45 AM at the Sci Club Aterno Pescara base camp (located directly in front of the Gravare - Toppe del Tesoro cable car base station). For those who requested equipment rental, snowshoes and trekking poles will be distributed directly on-site before setting off.
After putting on our snowshoes, we head left to climb the open ridge and shoulder of Gravare di Sotto, keeping safely away from active ski runs. The trail gains elevation open-air beyond the forest line: as we hike up along the crest, sweeping views open up over the Aremogna Plateau and the Maiella range. Reaching the summit of Cima Gravare di Sotto (2,087 m a.s.l.), hikers are rewarded with an extraordinary 360-degree panorama stretching across the Abruzzo National Park mountains. The descent follows the same ascent trail on foot, returning to the starting point between 01:30 PM and 02:00 PM.
