Sila National Park Authority manages some of the most
charming and wild areas of the Region with large and wonderful forests
covering gentle plateaus, with exciting landscapes stretching out
towards Pollino, Aspromonte, Etna, the sunny side of the Ionian Sea and
the Tyrrhenian Sea on which, with the clean air, you will be amazed in
observing the imposing presence of Eolie. There are several rural
and tourist villages, and the artistic and cultural heritage is very
rich. The highest mountains are Mt. Botte Donato (1,928m), in Sila
Grande, and Mt. Gariglione (1,764m) in Sila Piccola; there are several
torrential rivers, with clear and fresh waters, and artificial lakes
used for various purposes. The wildlife, resident and migratory, is rich
and varied.
