Aveto Natural Regional Park

The protected area stretches across 3,019 hectares of land, encompassing three distinct valleys with beech forests, meadows, and mountain landscapes.

The natural park received its official protected status in 1995, following conservation initiatives that began in 1989 to preserve the Ligurian Apennines.

Local communities within the valleys maintain traditional agricultural practices, tending to olive groves, vineyards, and chestnut orchards across the protected landscape.

Visitors can access multiple hiking trails throughout the park's territory, with the main entrance points located in Rezzoaglio and Santo Stefano d'Aveto.

The Lame lakes within the park create specific conditions for rare fungi species, including the Calocybe gambosa mushroom that grows in these wetland areas.
