Hiking - The Soria Ellena Refuge

A relatively comfortable ascent, entirely on a dirt road (with possible shortcuts on the path) and with some steeper sections, leads to the pleasant Piano del Praiet, a large grazing plain at the edge of which stands the Soria Ellena Refuge.

The Vallone della Barra, up which the trail climbs after a cool initial tract through beech woods, opens onto broad, sunny pastures. This valley was chosen by Park management as the site for releases of bearded vultures in the international reintroduction program.
