The Mountains of Abruzzo, in winter, are vast spaces of nature and beauty. Peaks, valleys, plateaus, and beech forests offer hikers extraordinary adventures. The Pianoro Campitelli in Alfedena, with its brand-new Rifugio Campitelli, is also an excellent starting point for exploring the southern side of the Park and some of its wildest and most secluded areas. Encounters with wildlife are always possible, both in the wooded valleys and across the silent high-altitude plateaus.
