Vastese Area

The area around Vasto (Vastese) is filled with natural beauty spots in what is for the most part an unspoilt environment, even if inhabited for many centuries as testified by the increasingly rich number of surprising archaeological finds. Those travelling along its roads and passing through its towns and villages are sure to enjoy the calm industry of its inhabitants, who live in towns that have remained unchanged over the years. It is an excellent occasion to discover local history and traditions, enjoying the many local events which, especially in summer, bring these places to life and are the best way to experience their very essence. The trekking and mountain biking routes offer splendid daily outings crossing the Val Treste e Trigno and the Val Sinello. Paragliding offers the opportunity to enjoy a different perspective, to experience the dream of flying freely through the air - in a more economic yet safe manner - and to be able to look down at everything from on high. The Vastese area offers you the chance to enjoy this experience and it also has flying schools with qualified instructors and specialisation schools for those who already know and love this sport.

- Pedalling in freedom

  Pedalling in freedom is the most authentic way to reach breathtaking panoramic spots, including those overlooking the lakes that extend through the valleys, following the paths of the generous and raging torrents. Travelling through the small villages you experience the feeling of being and not appearing, as you proceed breathlessly and in silence because the mountain rises up to dominate the entire valley until you can see the sea, down towards the east.
