TREKKING |

Visit bear’s country!
A trekking to know one of the most interesting Park in Italy, the only where bears, the biggest predators of our peninsula, still live. This land is the wildest and most uncontaminated place from the activities of human beings. Crossing secular beech woods, highlands, old “Tratturelli”, zones of Integral Reserve, we will observe the wild animals in their own habitat: the ethology of the Abruzzo Chamois, the roar of the Red Deer and, sleeping in refuges, we will look for the Marsican Brown Bear. Last year, during this trekking, we saw 4 bears! Not forgetting the delicious Abruzzo cooking and the good Montepulciano wine.
