アスプロモンテのサントステファノの天然記念物・トップ16

Beautiful panorama overlooking the Ionian and Tyrrhenian Sea.

Legend has it that whoever manages to go around it 3 times without breathing will be able to find the goose that lays the golden eggs.

Always gentle slopes and at high altitude, among beech and fir forests. A monotony that never tires.

Here, in the lands of Aspromonte, you can immerse yourself in unspoiled and wild nature, which stands out among the most fascinating and precious in Italy. The Aspromonte National Park, with its vast mountainous territories, dense forests, impetuous torrents and majestic peaks, offers a unique and spectacular environment. Exploring this paradise, you will be able to admire an extraordinary variety of flora and fauna, let yourself be enveloped by the tranquility of the centuries-old woods and face exciting excursions to discover breathtaking panoramas. Aspromonte is an unmissable destination for nature lovers and adventurers looking for authentic and unforgettable experiences.

This stretch of the Calabria Parks Cycle Route goes from the Mercante pass to the Zomaro, from the Zilastro plains to Zervò. Crossing Aspromonte towards Gambarie and it's really exciting. Nature is anything but harsh: you travel for kilometers surrounded by giant ferns at over a thousand meters above sea level among beech trees, centuries-old fir trees and sudden green prairies. It is in this stretch, near Villagio Trepitò, that you can admire the Mundu and Galasìa waterfalls, a spectacle of nature that has no equal. The descent that leads to the waterfalls must be done on foot, but it is an experience you will never forget. In this area there are also two precious refuges for those who practice cycle tourism, namely "Il Boschetto fioreto" and "Il biancospino". They offer fantastic hospitality, as does the former Zervò sanatorium, transformed into a community open to those who pass by.

One of the most beautiful places in the Aspromonte National Park and in all of Calabria!
