San Giovanni in Fiore, in the province of Cosenza, sits at over a thousand meters in the heart of the Sila Mountains, surrounded by woods, lakes, and sweeping mountain views. The village arose in the 12th century around the Florense Abbey, founded by Gioacchino da Fiore, which still dominates the historic center and represents the spiritual and cultural heart of the town. The streets wind around the monastery, passing ancient churches, medieval arches, and stone buildings that tell the story of centuries of Sila history.

Located in the Sila National Park, the town is an excellent starting point for excursions to the beech and pine forests, Lakes Ampollino and Arvo, and scenic trails. The altitude (approximately 1,050 meters) guarantees fresh air in summer and snow in winter, making it ideal for trekking, walking, or snowshoeing.

The municipality of San Giovanni in Fiore is also the ideal place to charge your e-bike and earn DINAclub points. Find out how at: dinaclub.repower.com
