1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Abruzzo National Park, established in 1923, is one of Italy's oldest and most celebrated protected areas, located in the central Apennine mountains across the Abruzzo, Lazio, and Molise regions. The park is renowned for its dramatic landscapes of dense beech forests, glacial valleys, and rugged peaks, with elevations reaching over 2,200 metres. It serves as a vital sanctuary for rare wildlife including the Marsican brown bear, Apennine wolf, and Abruzzo chamois — species found almost nowhere else in Europe. Hikers, wildlife watchers, and nature lovers are drawn here for its extensive trail network, traditional mountain villages, and a sense of wild, unspoiled Italy far from the tourist trail.
