Two and a half hours of snowshoeing from Rifugio Fasanelli, near Rotonda, is a short door into that massif: a small group, a named refuge, and trails that follow the snow you actually get. Starting at a named hut means you are not hunting a lay-by on a mountain road, and groups stay at eight or fewer so the briefing stays personal. 📋 Key Details Duration: about 2.5 hours Location: Pollino National Park, Rotonda Group size: 1-8 guests Difficulty: Easy winter walking, no mountaineering Meeting point: Rifugio Fasanelli, Localita Pedarreto 🏔 What to Expect You meet at the refuge, fit snowshoes, and follow the guide into winter forest and open snow. The product does not publish a peak name or a kilometre count, so the day is a guided park walk rather than a named summit assault. Italian or English guiding may both be available. You return to Rifugio Fasanelli after about two and a half hours. Dress for snow. Easy does not mean a city coat. The refuge is the start and the finish, which is a kindness on a massif that can feel huge in cloud. 📍 Location Pollino National Park straddles Basilicata and Calabria. This start is Rifugio Fasanelli near Rotonda in the province of Potenza: high country, forest, and a proper winter massif, a long way from Matera's ravines. The drive south from Matera is real, and winter roads into Pollino can be slow. Navigate to the refuge, not only to Rotonda village. ✅ Prerequisites Fitness for 2.5 hours of easy snowshoeing. No ski qualification required. A minimum age is not stated. Tell the team about circulation problems or recent injury before you arrive. Winter clothing is yours to bring. Why Choose Us Groups stay at eight or fewer, so the briefing stays personal on a massif that can feel huge in cloud. You start at Rifugio Fasanelli, a named hut you can actually find, not a lay-by on a mountain road. A local guide turns the line to the snow you get that day. It is a genuine winter walk in Pollino: forest, open snow and a refuge you return to, rather than a mystery mountain with hired kit and no plan. ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included About two and a half hours of guided snowshoeing in Pollino National Park Local guide for the full outing, with Italian or English rates as shown in the widget Snowshoes fitted at Rifugio Fasanelli A small group of no more than eight guests on this product ### What’s not included Transport to and from the meeting point Food and drinks Personal travel insurance Winter clothing hire ### Kit list Warm layers, waterproofs, gloves and a hat Winter boots suitable for snowshoes Sunglasses and sun cream (snow glare) Water and a snack ## FAQs ### How long is the outing and how hard is it? About two and a half hours of guided snowshoeing in Pollino National Park. The grade is easy. You walk snow-covered trails with a guide, not a ski piste. Easy still means winter mountain ground. You need clothing and fitness for a couple of hours in snow, not trainers and a city coat. ### Where do we meet? Meet at Rifugio Fasanelli, Localita Pedarreto, 85048 Rotonda, in the province of Potenza. There is no pickup from Matera. Pollino is a longer drive south. Arrive 15 minutes early. Transport to the meeting point is not included. ### Is there a minimum age or group size? A minimum age is not stated. Groups run from 1 to 8 guests, which keeps the briefing personal on a massif that can feel huge in cloud. Ask before you arrive if you are bringing children or anyone unused to cold and snow. The refuge start does not make it a playground session. ### Is a guide included? Yes. A local guide leads the full outing, from the Rifugio Fasanelli briefing to the trails and the return. Italian or English guiding may both be available. You are not sent onto the massif alone. The guide turns the day if wind or thaw makes a longer loop unwise. ### What will I see? Snow-covered trails and winter forest in Pollino National Park, with a guide who knows the massif. The product does not name a specific peak or kilometre count, so we do not invent one. Views depend on cloud and snow. Treat the park itself as the destination, not a guaranteed summit photo. ### What should I bring? Warm layers, waterproofs, gloves, a hat, sunglasses, and winter boots that take a snowshoe binding. Bring water and a snack. Snowshoes are fitted at the refuge start. Full clothing hire is not listed, so arrive dressed for Pollino in winter. ### Do I need previous snowshoe experience? You do not need ski skills. You do need to walk in snow for about two and a half hours. The grade is easy. If you have never used snowshoes, the briefing at Rifugio Fasanelli covers the basics before you leave the hut. ### What happens in poor weather? This outing needs snow and safe mountain weather. High wind, poor visibility, or a thaw that strips the trail can stop or shorten the day. The team should contact you if the forecast is unsafe. A grey sky with good snow is often still a going day. ### What is included? A local guide, snowshoes fitted at Rifugio Fasanelli, and about two and a half hours in Pollino are included. Italian or English guiding may both be available. Groups stay at eight or fewer. Transport, food, drinks and winter clothing hire are not included. A hut lunch is not listed unless your confirmation says otherwise. ### Do we climb a named summit? No named peak is published on this product, so we do not invent one. The day is a guided park walk on snow-covered trails, not a summit assault. That is part of the charm of this shorter outing: forest, open snow and Pollino itself, with a refuge you can find at the start and the finish. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/big-ticket-image-65ef18b20c0a2528725761-cropped600-400.png - **Gallery image count**: 6 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
