Aveto Natural Regional Park, Nature reserve in Metropolitan City of Genoa, Italy.
Aveto is a protected park in Liguria that spans three valleys with beech forests, meadows, and mountain terrain. Multiple hiking trails connect throughout the area and main access points are near Rezzoaglio and Santo Stefano d'Aveto.
The area gained official protection status in 1995 after conservation work started in 1989 to safeguard this mountain landscape. The formal recognition reflected years of effort to preserve the Apennine region in Liguria.
The valleys hold small communities that farm chestnuts, olives, and grapes as they have for generations. These daily practices shape how the land looks and how people move through these protected valleys.
Spring and autumn offer the best walking conditions with mild weather and clear trails. Bring sturdy footwear and rain gear since mountain weather can change quickly throughout the day.
The Lame lakes within the park support rare fungi species, including mushrooms that grow only in these specific wetland conditions. These lakes create a habitat unusual for this mountain region.
