Sila National Park, National park in Calabria, Italy
The 73,695-hectare territory spans across three provinces - Cosenza, Catanzaro, and Crotone - with plateaus, river basins, and dense coniferous forests.
After its establishment in 1997, the park incorporated territories from the former Calabria National Park and received UNESCO Biosphere Reserve status in 2014.
Twenty-one municipalities within the park maintain traditional practices, including the production of local foods such as ricotta cheese and chestnut-based specialties.
The park features trails for hiking and cycling, winter sports facilities in Lorica and Camigliatello, and accommodations ranging from mountain lodges to modern hotels.
The Fossiata and Gallopane forests near Lake Cecita contain massive Laricio pine specimens known as the Giants of Sila.
