Abruzzo Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

It always surprises me how Italy can reward you with beautiful landscapes and spots not so far from where you live. Quite often you can visit a place and get back home in the span of a few hours. More than once, and in the course of different seasons, I paid a visit to the Gran Sasso National Park with some friends of mine. Both in cold and hot days the majesty of this area leaves you speechless every single time. Drive across the plain and reach the observatory almost at the top of the mountain. Then visit Rocca Calascio with its fortress for an insane view of the mountain chain. #italy #abruzzo #campoimperatore #gransasso #italytravel #italybeauties #travel #nature #outdoors #awesomepic

This is a mountain "Gran Sasso" in L'aquila province (Italy), my hometown. It's always amazing walking in the mountain and stay in contact with the nature. Everyone should stay more outside than inside. #mountain#italytravel#rocks #merrychristmas

Lake Scanno is the largest natural lake in Abruzzo. Not everyone knows, in fact, that most of the lakes in the region have been created artificially to generate electricity. Lake Scanno, on the other hand, was formed naturally due to a landslide on Mount Genzana, which blocked the course of the river Tasso, flooding the surrounding valley and giving rise to the lake. This happened many years ago! It seems to date back to the end of the last ice age. Lake Scanno is located about 922 meters above sea level. It is therefore not surprising, because of the altitude, that it is frozen in winter. It is located in the luxuriant Sagittario valley between the villages of Villalago and Scanno. Scanno is one of the most beautiful villages in Italy and, not surprisingly, a favorite destination for photographers from all over the world, where it is still possible to see old women in traditional clothes. Certainly a visit to the village cannot be missed. Lake Scanno, with a maximum depth of 32 meters, has won the blue flag, so it is completely suitable for swimming! There is an equipped beach where you can spend moments of pure relax. There are mountain bike trails, with the possibility of renting bikes and rickshaws, a children's play area, a parking area for campers, rowing boats and canoes. Windsurfing is also possible. The lake is rich in flora and fauna, in fact its typical emerald waters are due to the presence of algae and aquatic microorganisms and to the vegetation of the surrounding mountains which is reflected in it. The waters are full of fish, in particular perch, whitefish and trout, but also catfish and pike, in fact it is possible to practice fishing, according to an inter-municipal regulation with a specific tariff provided on a daily, weekly, monthly or annual basis. #mynovgetaway #thanksgiving #mynovgetaway#thanksgiving

This is the "heart lake" located in Scanno (Italy). It's little bit hard to reach the top but the view worth it ❤️ near this place there is also a natural reserve where you can feed deer 🦌 #merrychristmas #italytravel#italybeauties#scenicspotguide#trees#trekking #merrychristmas

Beautiful &Peaceful Sant’Angelo Abruzzo 🇮🇹

Città Sant’Angelo is a gorgeous city area located in the mountains but not far from the sea in the province of Abruzzo in Italy. It is gorgeous, quiet, and has many older historical landmarks with poster boards talking about their history in English and Italian. One can even scan the QR codes to be able to translate the words to your language or choice. The views are unbelievable and is easily one of the most beautiful places I have been in Italy. We had to drive a car up the side to get to the top and found parking but once we started walking around we saw plenty of older coffee shops, and stores with loyal customers that had been here for years. This is an easy place to recommend and I truly hope more tourists can come and see these medieval towns with long standing history more often! #tripblazers #mytripvlog #europe #abruzzo #italy
