Serra del Prete

Serra del Prete reaches an elevation of 2,181 meters, featuring broad limestone ridges and a central depression within the Pollino mountain range.

In February 2010, an avalanche struck Serra del Prete's northeastern slope, creating a 500-meter-long path and marking the first recorded incident since 1990.

The mountain sits within Pollino National Park, established in 1993, where regulations protect natural resources and restrict activities like camping and fires.

Multiple hiking routes lead to the summit from Colle d'Impiso, with summer ascents suitable for regular hikers and winter climbs requiring mountaineering equipment.

The mountain's geographical formation includes a vast central depression that provides natural protection from high-altitude winds affecting the surrounding peaks.
