The Taste of Nature

The pleasure of ancient and genuine tastes in Corno alle Scale Park

So many good things a few steps from home. Healthy air, charming and unforgettable landscapes, history, traditions, entertainment but, above all, many traditional products to taste. If you decide to spend your Sunday or a few days more in Corno alle Scale Regional Park, you will find a combination of untouched nature, culture, and well-being to discover and experience on horseback, by bike, with the skis, or simply walking. These are the main features that have always characterized local tourism. However, there is a field for which our Territory is a bit late: gastronomy and local products.

The aim of the project for the enhancement of the local products of Corno alle Scale Regional Park – the result of the collaboration between the Municipality of Lizzano in Belvedere, Corno alle Scale Park, and the Tourism Department of the Province of Bologna – is to create a quality system which, starting from local products, involves all the features of local tourism. An environmental vocation that the Municipality of Lizzano in Belvedere has decided to promote through a series of important initiatives, including the enhancement of the "water" heritage, district heating, separate waste collection, Emas Community Rules, with the aim to make "healthy products in a healthy territory".
