At a height of between 1,500 and 1,900 metres above sea level, the Campo Imperatore Plateau is approximately 20km long, and varies between 3 and 7km in width; it slopes gently upwards, alternating between flood plains created by lakes and moraines left behind by ancient glaciers, rock glaciers, nivomoraines, cirques, breccia, torrents and rocky walls as it goes. The peaks that top off and surround what is commonly known as “Little Tibet” are some of the highest and most picturesque of the Apennine mountains: there’s Mount Scindarella (2,233m) and Mount Portella (2,385m), with their spectacular cirques; the Corno Grande (2,912m), which dominates from the top of its four peaks and Mount Aquila (2,494m), its natural foresummit; the Brancastello Dolomites (2,385m) and Monte Prena (2,561m), with its twisted shapes rich in canyons, and the grassy southern slope of Mount Camicia (2,564m).
