Huge areas of Calabria offer a magnificent and undisturbed natural habitat. The region is mountainous and these areas are still relatively unknown. Some of the mountains are steep, rugged and severe with deep ravines whilst others are soft and wooded.
The Calabrian mountains offer no less than three National Parks: Pollino, Sila and Aspromonte and more than 16 Nature Reserves. The mountain regions are rich in fauna with wolves and eagles living here. An abundant flora of flowers and trees including different types of oak, fir and maple can also be found.
Snow forms a natural part of the mountains in the winter months and autumn is most spectacular when the colours of the trees change.
If outstanding nature in a landscape as yet undisturbed is for you then Calabria has everything you could possibly wish for.
