The plain of Voltigno is a carsic plateau situated in the territory of Carpineto della Nora, which is in the eastern part of the National Park of Gran Sasso and Monti della Laga, at an altitude of about 1400 meters. The plateau is characterized by the presence of highly wet areas, thus highlighting the presence of a lush vegetation and floral species of great importance. You can admire beech, fir, birch, poplar and maple trees; several species of flowers such as the gentian, the orchid, the martagon lily, the primrose and the anemone. The plain of Voltigno offers impressive landscape views, on the one hand you can enjoy the view of the imposing Gran Sasso massif, and climbing up to Mount Cappucciata the glance reaches up to the Adriatic Sea, going through the Maiella, Mount Sirente and the Morrone. In addition, the Plain of Voltigno is home to bears, wolves, hares, deer, foxes and chamois. It is worth visiting this beautiful place, where the natural environment has remained untouched, both in summer when you can visit the valley walking or mountain biking and in winter practicing cross-country skiing or alternatively snow- shoeing .
