A mountain park overlooking the sea
The Majella National Park, located in the central Italian Apennines, is an extraordinary nature reserve with breathtaking landscapes, exceptional biodiversity and a rich geological history.
Founded in 1991, it protects this unique environment and offers extraordinary opportunities for exploration. Majella, with its 2,793-metre-high Monte Amaro, dominates the horizon with its unmistakable profile. The beauty of this ethereal place alternates between snow-white landscapes in winter and the fabulous colourful images of the mountains in the warmer months, with numerous hiking trails of varying difficulty. The park is a precious reserve of biodiversity, with forests that are home to several species, including the Marsican wolf, a conservation symbol as iconic as it is precious. An extensive network of trails, some 700 kilometres, caters for a wide variety of needs, from short walks to more challenging treks. Geological features include caves, gorges and canyons, such as the Grotta del Cavallone. Historical centres such as Lama dei Peligni and Sulmona add a cultural dimension to the visit, reflecting the local traditions, crafts and authentic gastronomy of the region.
