Natural Resources

The territory of Valle del Crocchio L.A.G. holds a huge naturalistic patrimony which, starting from the Ionian coast, gets to Sila’s plateau, culminating with Gariglione Mount (m. 1.765 a.s.l.) in the heart of Sila National Park. The particular configuration of the territory allows, in about 45 minutes, to pass through the sea resorts at 1.550 m. a.s.l., having thus the opportunity to admire different types of alternating vegetation (olive, chestnut, fir, beech, ecc.) which give the mountain and piedmont environment particularly characteristic shades of colours at seasons changing.
