Parco dell'Aveto

The Aveto Regional Natural Park is a protected area in Liguria, Italy, managed by the Parco Naturale Regionale dell’Aveto. Its landscapes range from forested lakeshores to the highest peaks of the Ligurian Apennines, with elevations of around 1,600 to 1,800 metres. The park’s varied natural environments support rich biodiversity, while traditional cattle grazing helps maintain mountain pastures and produces a characteristic local cheese.

Visitors can explore rural historic settlements, religious architecture such as the ancient Abbey of Borzone, and points of interest across the park. The park offers suggested hiking routes, accessible itineraries, visitor centres, environmental education activities, and guided experiences, including walks focused on geology and biodiversity. Cultural and educational attractions include the Gambatesa Mine, the Museum of the Woods, and the F.

Delpino Botanical Garden. Visitors can also find information about local food products and producers, accommodation, dining, travel planning, maps, guides, publications, and souvenirs. The park shares news, events, weather and safety notices, and information on conservation projects and services through its website
