Abruzzo is called the 'green region of Europe', because more than one third of its surface area is protected.

Bears and chamois populate its famous National Park.

Between the lofty peaks of the Gran Sasso, Majella and Velino and the golden line of the coast, the nature of Abruzzo forms a picture of great variety and charm, which can be appreciated at any time of the year.

Thanks to a dense network of nature reserves and oases, Abruzzo's nature is today adequately safeguarded and can be easily visited by individual enthusiasts as well as organised groups.
