Quadrilocale in Viale Regina Margherita

The area sits at the western edge of the Marsica, between the Monti Simbruini and the higher Abruzzo Apennines, with enclosed valleys and wooded slopes around the town. The Liri has its source territory nearby at Cappadocia and flows through this part of the upper Liri valley. The Monti Simbruini Regional Park begins a short distance to the west on the Lazio side, and the Sirente Velino Regional Park lies to the east beyond Avezzano. The nearest ski lifts are at Campo Staffi above Filettino, roughly an hour by road in winter conditions. Avezzano is the nearest larger town, with hospitals, rail links and the main services of the Marsica plain. This part of Abruzzo is known for the former Fucino basin and for mountain pastoral country on the edge of the central Apennines.
