Case Bosco Pratofiorito – Pista Altomontana

A long and sunny block located at 1,077 m in the municipal area of Adrano, in the past Case Bosco Prato Fiorito was a structure allocated to the limited agricultural activity that could be carried out at such a high altitude and that was affected by snowfalls in winter. They can be reached after passing the bar that marks the limit of the State Property close to slightly ascending flat areas characterised by the absence of forests and the presence of some lateral craters, among which M. Minardo dominates on the left.

The trail unfolds on a non-paved road, which, after passing M. Peloso, bends sharply towards East, thus gaining altitude (865 m overall) and crossing large portions of pine forest and undated lava fields.

Along the 10.7 km route is located a State Forestry Corps building retaining its original name of Case Zampini (1,345 m). The trail subsequently goes deeper between M. Nespole, Leporello, Capre and Fornello, to reach the Pista Altomontana near the Poggio la Caccia Refuge, a bivouac with a door, always open to provide hikers with basic shelter. Traversing the whole route takes slightly less than 4 hours.
