Sila Piccola
La Sila is in the heart of Calabria. It is a plateau that extends over 1,700 square kilometers with an average elevation of more than 1,300 meters above sea level.m. It is surrounded by a mountain crown whose highest peak, Monte Botte Donato, reaches 1,928 meters. It is covered by a vast forest made up mostly of conifers and beeches. In the Sila, rich in water resources, artificial lakes have been created that fit perfectly into the enchanting natural context of the place.
The Sila area, which concerns the provinces of Catanzaro, Cosenza and Crotone, is made up of a granite-crystalline massif bordering on the Sybaris plain to the north, the Crati Valley to the west, the Lamezia plain to the south and the Lamezia plain to the east Hills bordering the margraviate. The area is broadly divided into Sila Greca, Sila Grande and Sila Piccola. These names do not have precise morphological meaning but reflect administrative subdivisions inherited from the past.

Sila is a huge plateau of the Calabrian Apennines
The Sila is a vast plateau of the Calabrian Apennines that extends over 150,000 hectares through the provinces of Cosenza, Crotone and Catanzaro, divided from north to south into Sila Greca, Sila Grande and Sila Piccola and characterized by the presence of various mountain peaks, plateaus, dense forest areas and artificial lakes on the high seas.
Seat of the oldest National Park in Calabria, the Sila National Park and its Authority were established by Decree of the President of the Republic of November 14, 2002, which includes the areas already included in the "historical" National Park of Calabria (1968) and areas of significant ecological interest protect a total of 73,695 hectares.
Entry into the collective imagination for its forests and mixed forests of coniferous and deciduous trees, its highlands, its rounded peaks, its lakes, the great snowfalls, the stable presence of wolves, the seasonal presence of porcini mushrooms, in an environment sometimes reminiscent of the Nordic-Scandinavian reminiscent , from the highest peaks, depending on their position on the plateau, it is possible on clear days to see the Aspromonte to the south and the Pollino massif to the north, the Tyrrhenian Sea to the west, the Ionian Sea to the east, the Plane of Sybaris to the north, the Piana di Sant'Eufemia and the Piana di Gioia Tauro, Sicily, Mount Etna and the Aeolian Islands to the south.
