Parco Nazionale d'Abruzzo, Lazio e Molise

	Itineraries
	Hikes
	Discovering the manifold nature of the Park... Once you enter the Park it is advisable to leave the car in the parking areas at the bottom of the valley and to continue your visit on foot. Only in this way you will be able to perceive the presence of the animals, to observe the natural environments, and to enjoy the contact with nature. An important rule to respect is that you must walk and be absolutely quiet, on your own or in small groups; or, better, taking part in the guided hikes organized by the Park Authority. On the special tourist map, available in the Park Offices, you will find about 150 ecotourist itineraries, for a total length of more than 250 km. Each path, marked on the map by a letter and a number, has also been marked on the place with red-orange trail markers. If you want to take part in the special tours and walks organized by the Park Authority and guided by expert staff, you must book your visit in the local Offices and in the Park Centers.
