Palazzo - Edificio in Ferriere

The Ligurian Apennines surround Ferriere, with wooded ridges and upper-valley terrain at the headwaters of the Nure and near the Aveto valley. The area is tied to the Monte Nero and Monte Bue side of the Apennines, and the nearest ski area is Santo Stefano d’Aveto on Monte Bue, roughly a 30-minute drive. Within this stretch of the upper Nure valley there are mountain pastures, beech woods, and high passes linking toward Liguria. The nearest larger town with a wider range of services is Piacenza, while Bobbio is the most relevant historic small town in the wider valley system and has a substantial old centre and abbey. This part of the Piacentine Apennines is known for hiking, summer stays in the upper valleys, and mushroom and chestnut country.
