Mammarosa

Mammarosa is a mountain summit rising to 1620 meters within the Maiella massif, offering views of the surrounding peaks and extending to the Adriatic coast. The area is equipped with ski lifts and features a hotel facility on the peak itself.

The peak takes its name from Rosalinda, who once sheltered mountain travelers and gave her name to a refuge in the area. Modern hotel facilities replaced this original shelter when construction was completed in 1966.

The summit sits within a protected national park where traditional mountain pursuits and contemporary ski activities coexist peacefully. Visitors experience both ways of engaging with the landscape during their time here.

The terrain features marked hiking trails and ski lifts accessible for different seasonal activities. Winter brings ski enthusiasts to the slopes, while summer and fall attract walkers following the trail network across the mountain.

The area protects wolf populations and regional wildlife within preservation zones managed by the national park system. Visitors hiking here share the landscape with animals that have gradually returned to these mountains over recent decades.
