Monte Amaro, movements at high altitude

In the early 1900s, in this area, which later became the Abruzzo National Park, just over 30 specimens survived, a number too low to guarantee the survival of the species. One hundred years later, we can share one of the most beautiful stories in the history of Italian nature conservation.

Nowadays, the ridges of Opi’s Monte Amaro offer the possibility to enjoy breath-taking views, to observe the Apennine chamois in the wild and the movements of the golden eagle. This trip may be “mandatory” for nature and photography enthusiasts visiting the Park!
