Viggianello — Porta del Pollino
Basilicata
Viggianello sits on the Basilicata flank of the Pollino National Park, a quieter approach than the more-visited Calabrian trailheads, with paths climbing through beech forest toward the range's high pasture and rocky summits. The village itself retains a compact historic quarter at its base.
