Itinerary

THE SOUTH RIDGE
CAPANNE DI CARREGA 1367 m - TOP OF CARMO 1642 m DIFFERENCE IN HEIGHT 275 m

This is a normal route to climb Carmo. A brief easily path for all trekkers. Always good remarkable path, large on the first part inside the wood; on second part simple because the summit is clearly visible. The slight slope assure a good walk. Near the top is possible find a brief by-pass on the left to avoid the steep slope in front of us.
Attention at snow in a winter and in a spring seasons. The high altitude and the distance from the sea in this part of Apennino not permit at snow to dissolve on all parts of path.
