The refuge is splendid and well maintained, all in stone and wood, a small hut of the gnomes, or a hobbit house, depending on your taste ...

Embark on the Rifugio La Vecchia Loop from Rovere, a moderate hike spanning 5.7 miles (9.1 km) with an elevation gain of 1799 feet (548 metres), typically completed in 3 hours and 16 minutes. The route starts on gentle paths through expansive grassy meadows before ascending into dense beech forests where the trail becomes steeper. As you emerge, you'll be rewarded with panoramic views from the dorsal ridge at Colle di Mandra Murata, looking out towards majestic peaks like Gran Sasso and Majella.
When planning your trip, be mindful of seasonal changes. Winter conditions often bring significant snow cover, increasing the difficulty and necessitating specialized equipment such as snowshoes and avalanche gear. Additionally, in certain seasons, you might need to hike with a park guide to access this protected area, especially due to the presence of Apennine chamois. Always check current conditions and park requirements before you set out.
This loop offers a truly rewarding experience within the heart of the Parco Naturale Regionale Sirente-Velino. The trail leads you to Rifugio La Vecchia, a charming unmanaged hut, from which you can also admire the Altopiano delle Rocche and Prati del Sirente. It's a great way to immerse yourself in the diverse landscapes and natural beauty of this regional park.
