Hiking the Italian Maritime Alps
June 22-July 2, 2010
$1375
Roman Laba, Trip Leader
The Italian Maritime Alps: “They
are some of the wildest and least-known mountains in the Alps with
peaks of over 3000 meters (10,000 feet), the Alp’s most southerly glaciers, high meadows, crystal-
clear streams and dense forests…Their proximity to the Mediterranean
lends a distinctly southern flavor…The higher slopes are more verdant
than in the central Alps, the scenery more enclosed, the rocks more
chaotic, the valleys narrower, the peaks more heavily glaciated.
Forests are thicker, trees more numerous, and everywhere there is more
variety, less habitation and-above all-more solitude.”
Traverse the heart
of these Alps in ten days going over several high mountain cols and
past
numerous lakes and cirques. The trip is planned for athletic hikers in
good physical condition. The distances are small, the trails are well
graded, the trail times are not long and lodging will be staying in
mountain refuges.
