1st day: Arrival in Colle d’Anchise
Arrival in Colle d'Anchise and accommodation in Albergo Diffuso. Dinner and overnight.
2nd day: The way of the Secret Caves - from Guardiaregia to Valle Uma
Breakfast. Meeting with your driver / guide who will take you to the starting point of your walk. Ring trekking along comfortable dirt roads in search of the most important entrances to the countless hidden caves along the pass routes in the countryside of Campochiaro. We are inside the WWF Oasis of Guardiaregia-Campochiaro, nature is protected and the surrounding environment is an incomparable beauty. After reaching Guardiaregia, we take a short walk in its ancient village where it will be possible to admire the Quirino Gorge from above with its waterfalls and the Piana di Bojano with the passage of the tratturo Pescasseroli-Candela. Moving again with the vehicles we begin the climb towards the mountain until we reach Costa Chianetta. We leave the vehicles and begin our walk in the woods by taking the Uma Valley path. Pic-Nic stop with typical products within the spectacular scenery of the Pozzo della Neve entrance. Return to the hotel, dinner and overnight at Colle d'Anchise.
3rd day: Saints and Witches - from Civita di Bojano to the Hermitage of Sant’Egidio
Breakfast. Meeting with your driver / guide who will take you to the starting point of your walk. We are in Bojano, one of the most important lands promised by the Italic people to those born in the sacred spring. A short walk in its ancient part and to the fresh and miraculous springs and we go up to Civita di Bojano, the small hamlet perched with the ruins of its castle and the fortified walls. We leave the vehicles and begin our super-panoramic journey towards the Hermitage of Sant’Egidio. Woods, prairies, fountains and traces of thousands and thousands years of history surround our steps. We will see the oldest chestnut tree in Molise and drink the water from Fosso della Strega in a landscape of stories and legends. The hermitage of Sant’Egidio incorporates a comfortable refuge with a huge fireplace where we will prepare unconventional delicacies. Return to the hotel, dinner and overnight at Colle d'Anchise.
4th day: Where the two Seas dare - The Adriatic-Tyrrhenian view from the Matese massif
Breakfast. Meeting with your driver / guide who will take you to the starting point of your walk. The Matese Massif is a small part of the Central Apennines that marks the border between Molise and Campania. Today we will reach the second highest peak, La Gallinola, at an altitude of 1923 meters above sea level. The environment is typically mountainous and our goal of reaching the summit will allow our eyes (weather permitting) to admire the two seas: Adriatico and Tirreno. The trek starts from Pian della Corte, a natural terrace overlooking Lake Matese. The walk is a succession of increasingly wider scenarios surrounded by grazing animals and huge birds of prey resident in the nearby rocky walls. The circular route will take us to satisfy our hunger in the beautiful location of the isolated refuge-restaurant La Baita. Return to the hotel, dinner and overnight at Colle d'Anchise.
5th day: Canyon of the Callora stream
Breakfast. Meeting with your driver / guide who will take you to the starting point of your walk. The Matese massif on the Molise side is one of the environments with the greatest biodiversity in Italy. Its geological origins and its northern exposure have designed unique landscapes made up of woods, springs, pastures, rocky walls and spiers as well as spectacular canyons carved by water into the soluble limestone rock. For this wonderful day we have chosen the Callora Canyon in the countryside of the unreachable and hidden village of the brigands of Roccamandolfi. After a guided tour of the small historic center, our journey continues uphill to reach the impregnable and invisible medieval castle perched on the edge of the canyon. The path continues and leads us at the entrance of the adrenaline-pumping attraction of the place, a modern "Tibetan bridge" that crosses the deep fracture and allows us to continue our journey until reaching the isolated pastures at high altitude where we can camp out with typical local products.
Return to the hotel, dinner and overnight at Colle d'Anchise.
6th day: Goodbye Molise
Breakfast and check-out from the hotel. Departure to your destination of origin or extension of your stay in Molise with our other proposals.
