Civitella Alfedena Valley Panorama

An Alpine Village in the Central Apennines

Civitella Alfedena is one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, a cluster of stone houses hugging a rocky spur of the Apennine Mountains. This elevated vantage frames its terracotta rooftops against a backdrop of steep, forested ridges that define the upper Sangro Valley.

Peaks and Waters of the National Park

The motorized lens travels across the Val di Rose, the summit of Monte Marsciano, the Passo Godi and the imposing Monte Greco, before settling on the emerald expanse of Lake Barrea and the perched hamlet that gives it its name.

Wildlife of the PNALM

These slopes belong to the Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park, a stronghold of the Marsican brown bear, the Apennine wolf and herds of red deer and chamois that frequently cross the meadows in view of the camera.

A Base for Trekking

Ringed by celebrated hiking routes, Civitella Alfedena is a beloved gateway for trekkers and nature lovers exploring one of the wildest corners of the Central Apennines.
