Description

Monte Pollino (2,248 m) is a non-volcanic Italian mountain on the Calabria–Basilicata border. It gives the Pollino massif its name, although nearby Serra Dolcedorme is higher. The surrounding slopes and uplands preserve glacial landforms. The normal route from Colle dell’Impiso crosses beech woodland, Colle Gaudolino and loricato pines before reaching the summit. Monte Pollino can be climbed without ascending Serra Dolcedorme; extending the outing to its neighbour requires substantial extra time. Pileggi documents an extended loop through Pollinello and Piano Toscano that took nine hours on his outing, longer than the normal route.

Ardito’s route passes Spezzavummola and Gaudolino before a rocky ascent to the southwest ridge and summit. Return the same way. The source estimates at least three additional hours return for an extension to Serra Dolcedorme.

From Colle dell’Impiso, the itinerary crosses Vacquarro and Gaudolino to Pollinello and the Patriarca pine before reaching Monte Pollino. Descent goes around the northern side via Sella Dolcedorme and Piano Toscano. This is Pileggi’s extended loop; it does not include Serra Dolcedorme’s summit.

Kenaikan / ascent sekitar / approximately 1,000 m (catatan CAI / CAI account)

The Edelweiss CAI outing ascended from Colle dell’Impiso through Gaudolino to the summit, descended towards Pollinello and returned to Gaudolino. The ascent figure is the guide’s calculation for that outing; the source gives no total duration.

Climbing Experiences

These videos and hiking accounts cover Monte Pollino from Colle dell’Impiso, including the approach through Gaudolino and a descent towards Pollinello. Andrea Pantani’s account also illustrates a decision to turn back before the summit when snow and weather worsened conditions. Additional accounts distinguish the extended Pollinello loop from a two-summit Pollino–Dolcedorme outing; their time and distance figures apply to those specific itineraries.
