As it unfolds for about 16 km towards Etna\u2019s summit areas, it is possible to grasp the progressive transformation of the landscape. After leaving the urban area, through mule tracks and paths marked by the inevitable dry lava stone walls, it first crosses vineyards and orchards, accompanied by well-noticeable rows of prickly pears, and then enters the Etna area of medium mountain, characterised by oak woods and then by reforestation with larch pine. Many are the notable sites touched by the trail, including the \u201c<em>Ampudda di Piscitello<\/em>\u201d, evidence of a small stream that existed before the lava flow of 1669, the Cisterna della Regina and the Grotta d&#8217;Angela. M. Manfr\u00e8 surprises with a deep crack where a luxuriant colony of poplars grows. The trail is a continuation of hiking trail no. 786, but it can be taken independently starting from the M. Manfr\u00e8 Lodge near the S.P. 92 road. It first turns west of M. Manfr\u00e8 and runs deep into its typical oak forest, then it crosses one of the lava branches generated by the eruption of 1983, which devastated most of the woods in the area. It then penetrates into a forest area first composed of chestnut trees, then, when altitude increases, of oaks and gorse, and finally, on the slopes of Monte Serra La Nave, by a splendid pine forest. The trail continues close to the Ariel Lodge and immediately after it reaches the State Property entrance gate of Filiciusa Milia, where the Pista Altomontana departs from.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Starting from the outskirts of the town of Belpasso at an altitude of 520, the route reaches the slopes of M.

The only exception is a short pass stretching through a narrow lava path resulting from the 1981 eruption, which spilled onto the north flank threatening the town of Randazzo.\n\nThe ring it outlines is not a closed one, due to the chasm of the Valle del Bove, not impossible though difficult to cross.\n\nThough curved in shape, the length and conformation of the Pista Altomontana make it a sort of backbone of the Etna trail network, as it is accessible from almost all the villages surrounding Etna through some paths featuring a roughly radial track. Subsequently, it is possible to proceed towards the summit areas from some of its junctions, following other paths through large radial lines.\n\nThe Pista Altomontana could be defined as the \"hub\" of the Etna trails, as it allows reaching the medium altitudes of the Volcano from one side and descend from another one.\n\nIt also allows crossing and enjoying almost all the landscapes that Mount Etna can offer, ranging from different types of tall trees forests and- in particular - pine woods with larch pine and beech woods, to harsh lava flows characterised by very diverse shapes and appearance. The Pista Altomontana roughly marks the border between the second and third of the three circular belts into which the ancient authors used to divide Etna, that is, the downstream wooded belt and the upstream volcanic desert belt.\n\nFinally, it allows admiring an hourly changing panorama overlooking the two underlying valleys of the Simeto and Alcantara rivers, the mountainous complexes of Nebrodi and Peloritani and the villages scattered across them. Along it, or at short distance, there are a dozen small buildings, generally owned by the former State Forestry Company, some of which are available as emergency shelter or a basic overnight stay for adequately equipped hikers.\n\nThe two ends of the route can be both reached by private motor vehicles and constitute Hiking Base Points.","post_title":"Pista Altomontana (Sentiero Italia)","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"pista-altomontana-sentiero-italia","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-11-19 10:49:55","post_modified_gmt":"2020-11-19 09:49:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.old.unescoparcoetna.it\/sentieri\/pista-altomontana-sentiero-italia\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"sentiero","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"parcheggi":"","grotte":"","rifugi":[{"ID":2506,"post_author":"2","post_date":"2020-10-06 13:14:27","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-06 11:14:27","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>This is a small\nstructure that can sleep up to 10 people.
