Scaffaiolo Lake private tour on high ridges

This hike to Scaffaiolo Lake guides you along one of the most stunning ridges of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines.

This is a linear (non-loop) route that offers a constant, rewarding ascent.

The route runs along the Crest Path (Sentiero di Cresta), guaranteeing spectacular views in all directions.
You will be literally walking on the border: seeing the valleys of Tuscany on one side and the landscapes of Emilia-Romagna on the other, across the majestic Apennine peaks.

The destination is lago Scaffaiolo (1775 m a.s.l.), one of the highest natural basins in the Apennines and a place rich in history and legend, situated right on the regional border.

Upon reaching the lake, you will find the historic Rifugio Duca degli Abruzzi.

• Dining option: The refuge (when open) provides an optional spot for lunch or a warm drink. Alternatively, you are welcome to enjoy your own food outside, taking in the panoramic views.
• Return: As this is a linear route, the return journey follows the same magnificent path, allowing you to appreciate the landscapes from a new perspective.
