Parco regionale dei Laghi Suviana e Brasimone

The protected area spans 3,833 hectares across two artificial lakes surrounded by dense forests of beech, oak, and coniferous trees at elevations from 468 to 1,283 meters.

The establishment of the park in 1995 followed the creation of two artificial lakes during the 20th century, transforming the local landscape and its economic potential.

Medieval remnants persist in villages like Bargi, Baigno, Badi, and Stagno, while the stone houses of abandoned Chiapporato stand on Mount Calvi's ridge.

Visitors can engage in hiking, fishing, kayaking, paddling, and windsurfing across both Lake Suviana and Lake Brasimone during summer months.

The park contains a water research center and hosts a department of ENEA, the National Agency for New Technologies, Energy, and Sustainable Economic Development.
