Embark on the Colli Perilli ring tour, a challenging hike through the Sila National Park in Calabria, Italy. This popular route spans 6.7 miles (10.8 km) with a significant elevation gain of 1493 feet (455 metres), typically taking around 4 hours and 12 minutes to complete. You'll navigate varied terrain, from dense beech and conifer forests to unpaved, rocky sections, with steeper climbs leading to panoramic views of Lago Arvo and Lago Ampollino. The highlight is the 360-degree vista from Croce dei Laghi, offering sights of Monte Botte Donato and other peaks.
As a difficult hike, this trail demands a good level of fitness, sure-footedness, and sturdy hiking shoes. While the metadata suggests a duration of 4 hours and 12 minutes, plan for up to 5.5 hours to fully enjoy the experience and account for stops. The trail is part of a well-signposted network within the Sila National Park, maintained according to CAI conventions, which provides clear indications of difficulty and points of interest, helping you plan your journey effectively.
This route is highly regarded by hikers for its exceptional panoramic views, particularly from the Croce dei Laghi, often cited as one of the most scenic spots in the Sila region. The Sila National Park itself is known for being one of Italy's most heavily wooded areas and is celebrated for its remarkably pure air, often called the "lungs of the Mediterranean." You'll encounter ancient forests, including centuries-old larch pines, adding to the unique natural appeal of this challenging and rewarding adventure.
