Val Fondillo
Abruzzo
This glacial valley near Opi is one of the most reliable places in Europe to glimpse the critically endangered Marsican brown bear, particularly at dawn or dusk in berry season. The trail follows a clear stream through dense beech forest before climbing toward the Passo Cavuto pass on the park's central ridge.
