Mt Ossa

(Local Name: Ossa) Separated from Mt Olympus by the Vale of Tempe rises Mt Ossa (1,978m/6,490ft), part of the range which cuts Thessaly off from the sea. There is a mountain hut on the summit. The best starting-points for the ascent of Ossa are the mountain villages of Ambelákia, above the west end of the Vale of Tempe (on the northwest side of the hill) and Ayiá (on the southeast side).
