  • National Parks of Italy

    Italy has over 25 National Parks and hundreds of State and Local Parks and Reserves. Even if the country is small and highly populated, the Italians have managed to protect many of their most sensitive and spectacular areas. In Italy these Parks are mostly protected areas, without too many facilities or conveniences. They are there to enjoy Nature, hike, be in places which are unique and beautiful. In some of these parks you can find wild animals like bears, wolves, eagles, foxes, ibex-goats, chamoises, marmots, roe and red deers... From Alpine sceneries to Mediterranean island settings; from glaciers to underwater reserves; from vulcanos to marshlands and lagoons...Italian Natural Parks are the places to escape from the city life and discover that we still belong to nature.

  • Italian Bike Routes

    Italy has more than 12000 Kms (7500 mi) of bike trails and routes. This link gives you the idea of where the major routes are. Many more are at the local level. As you can see from the map (click to enlarge), many routes have their own names and many more are built or dedicated as the whole network becomes more organized. Caution: sometimes these are dedicated bike routes and sometimes they conflic with local vehicular traffic. Because of the intensity and high volume of this traffic, it can be very dangerous for those who are not used to it and every biker should pay special attention and use common sense.
