Morano Calabro hosts a live nativity scene every year, where locals reenact scenes from Bethlehem against the backdrop of old streets and squares. You can see shepherds, craftsmen and even real animals, all prepared with great care and dedication. This is a local event that is put into the heart and is worth seeing if you are in the area in winter.

Morano Calabro is called "Presepe del Pollino" - the Nativity Scene of the Pollino Mountains. This comparison is a direct result of its unique location and appearance, especially when viewed from a distance or from the lower parts of the valley. The town is built on a very steep hillside, and the houses are densely packed one on top of the other, towering upwards. The entire town, with the ruins of the castle at the top, takes the shape of an almost perfect cone. This gives it a three-dimensionality and a specific silhouette that resembles traditional, three-dimensional nativity scenes.

Morano Calabro is one of the most beautiful and picturesque towns of Calabria, located in the north of the region, in the province of Cosenza, at the foot of the Pollino massif, in the heart of the Parco Nazionale del Pollino, the largest national park in Italy. The town has only a few thousand inhabitants, but it has an extraordinary historical and visual heritage that makes it unique. The history of the town dates back to Roman times (2nd century BC).

In the heart of the Pollino National Park, in one of the most authentic areas of Calabria, lies Baita Malieni, a small refuge nestled among the woods and uncontaminated views of the Contrada Cultura, in the territory of San Donato di Ninea. This peaceful corner is ideal for those who love to immerse themselves in the wildest and most genuine nature. The simple and welcoming hut is perfect as a stopover or base for exploring the many hiking trails that wind through the area. From here, itineraries start that go through beech forests, water sources and panoramic points overlooking the Esaro valley. If you love authentic places, far from mass tourism, Baita Malieni is one of those hidden gems to mark in red on the map. A true oasis for those seeking nature, tranquility and a deep contact with the Calabrian territory. Baita Malieni is also the ideal place to recharge your e-Bike and earn DINAclub points.
