Located in central Italy, Abruzzo is the region of Italy where nature is overwhelmingly the protagonist. Land sung and painted by D'Annunzio and Michetti, extends from the crystalline beaches of the Adriatic coast. Passing through an undulating expanse of hills, green plateaus and valleys rich in water, until you reach its hinterland, where the mountains reign. Rugged and wild, consisting of crystalline limestone and grandiose steps that are covered with forests of beech and oak trees.

Gran Sasso

Higher than the clouds, the heart of the region rises, the Gran Sasso massif. From here the top of Corno Grande and the peaks of the Monti della Laga emerge silhouetted against the high altitude sky. Perched on these peaks, one of the most characteristic villages of the region, Barrea. The paths present in the Majella Park were made using the ancient roads of transhumance, a unique and exciting experience. Breathtaking views, unspoiled nature and charming villages rich in history, these are just some of the aspects that characterize the Abruzzo National Park. Only here it is possible to admire some protected species in the wild. Like the Marsican bear, the very symbol of the park and the golden eagle.

Tourism in Abruzzo

There are numerous tourist areas in the towns of Pescasseroli and Roccaraso, where it is possible to practice various winter sports. First of all, skiing. But you can also be adventurous excursions on foot, on horseback or by mountain bike, along well-equipped paths. The discovery of Abruzzo takes place respecting the most vulnerable areas. In these lands man interacts with nature, but without contaminating it.

Villages and Cities

Full of charm too the villages of the hinterland, where past and present marry and harmoniously follow one another works of civil and religious architecture. Abbeys, churches, castles, necropolis and temples they reach us well preserved and still full of charm and mystery. Impossible not to visit Anversa degli Abruzzi, Città Sant'Angelo and Sulmona, the home of sugared almonds, which was the birthplace of the Roman poet Ovid. L'Aquila, the capital of this region, well represents the meeting between legend and history. A city that does not bend and in which the proud and courageous soul of its inhabitants is fully grasped.
