Abruzzo has a diverse environment so there's no lack of activities: alpine skiing, walking in medieval towns or national parks, lolling on the beach... The region of Abruzzo is on the Adriatic Sea. There are a lot of national and regional parks as Abruzzo National Park that's one of the most important one in Europe. Beaches worth visiting, to mention a few, Silvi Marina and Alba Adriatica. Skiing is another good option to do in Abruzzo: good trails with stunning sceneries. After swimming, sunbathing and skiing, you can hike, ride a horse, or go to rock climb (amazingly good places are San Vito and Capestrano). Abruzzo is a nostalgic region with huge diversities - lots of unspoilt nature and sceneries. Many festivals and fairs are arranged in this region. For example, ones in Cocullo, San Valentino, Rivisondoli, and the capital L'Aquila, are worth experiencing.
