Visiting the Majella National Park in Pescara (Italy)



The Majella National Park in Pescara offers its visitors a scenery of extraordinary beauty in every season: late in spring flowers and trees blossom, and this is the best time of the year, together with autumn, to visit ancient villages and hermitages. Summer is the best season to walk along the paths. October is enchanting with its multicoloured beech woods and it preludes to winter and its suggestive snow-covered landscapes.

Variety of environments, rich nature, old traditions and archeological findings contribute to make the Mount Majella territories a perfect place for excursions and trips.



Trekking routes can be long and exhausting, and even if they don’t seem to need a lot of skill, patience and effort, they can actually be very dangerous because of changing weather conditions and problems in orienting oneself.

Visitor are therefore advised to follow the paths and to rely on the Park staff for information and guidance.

Admission to the Majella National Park is free.



What to wear, what to bring

Visitors are suggested to wear casual and comfortable clothes when visiting the Park

Long trousers or tracksuit bottoms are better than shorts because they protect from thorns and bugs’ bites. Trekking boots with rubber sole are the best, but also a pair of sturdy, comfortable trainers is OK. A map of the area is always necessary.



A backpack with food and water is comfortable. It is better to have a first-aid kit, too.



Obviously, bring a pair of binoculars and a camera to observe and capture the wonders of the Park!
