Gran Sasso
The Gran Sasso and Monti della Laga National Park is one of the largest protected areas in Europe. It covers three regions and five provinces in a succession of breathtaking landscapes. A true green lung in central Italy, the park boasts the highest peak in the Apennines and the largest artificial lake in Europe. A unique park with over 2,400 plant species present. From above, the Gran Sasso d’Italia Massif dominates the surrounding landscape, the cities of central Italy and, in the distance, the two seas Adriatic and Tyrrhenian. The king of the Apennines stands out vertically over the endless pastures of Campo Imperatore, a little Tibet, and, to the east on the Teramo side, with a majestic wall, over the landscape of the central Adriatic. Towards the north, from Lake Campotosto, one of the most evocative environments in the Park between Abruzzo, Lazio and Marche, one can admire the gentler profiles of the Monti della Laga chain, entirely covered by forests of beech, silver fir, turkey oak and turkey oak and chestnut. The Apennine fauna is fully present: bear, wolf, chamois, deer, lynx.
