Riserva regionale Voltigno e Valle d'Angri

The reserve encompasses 5,172 hectares of mountainous terrain within Gran Sasso National Park, featuring beech forests, valleys, and the Tavo River at 1,400 meters elevation.

Established in 1989 across the provinces of Pescara and L'Aquila, the reserve operated independently until 1999 when it became integrated into Gran Sasso National Park.

Local shepherds maintain traditional practices in the reserve, where herds of horses, cattle, and sheep graze freely across the mountain meadows throughout the seasons.

The reserve offers winter cross-country skiing trails, including a 15-kilometer loop, and remains accessible within 40 minutes from the city of Pescara.

The Tavo River passes through the Bocca dell'Inferno cave system and emerges as the 28-meter Vitello d'Oro waterfall on Gran Sasso's southern slope.
