Riserva naturale Monte Velino, State nature reserve in Province of L'Aquila, Italy.
The reserve spans 3,550 hectares of mountainous terrain containing diverse ecosystems, from alpine tundra to ancient grasslands across central Apennine landscapes.
Established in 1987 through Ministerial Decree 427, the reserve marks a progression in Italian natural area protection that began in the 1960s.
The Museum of Man and Nature in Magliano de' Marsi presents exhibits about global biodiversity and environmental education through scientific displays.
Visitors can access the reserve from Rosciolo de' Marsi or Forme via the A25 highway, with specific trail restrictions during February to August.
The reserve maintains a research station that has collected data since 1993 on climate effects on plant communities in the central Apennines.
