Villa a schiera in Campotosto

The Monti della Laga and the Gran Sasso massif frame this area. Lake Campotosto is at the town, and the upper Vomano valley starts here. The area is inside Gran Sasso e Monti della Laga National Park. Small ski lifts are at Campo Imperatore and Prati di Tivo, both roughly an hour away by mountain road. L’Aquila is the nearest city of size, with full services and a substantial historic centre. The area is known for high pasture, transhumance routes and the artificial lake landscape created by the Campotosto reservoir.
