Monte Cervati (1,898 m), the highest peak of the Cilento, stands within a few kilometres of Sanza. Sanza lies inside the Parco Nazionale del Cilento, Vallo di Diano e Alburni. That national park is part of the UNESCO World Heritage inscription that includes the archaeological sites of Paestum and Velia and the Certosa di Padula. Upper slopes of Monte Cervati host beech and mixed mountain forests and are the source area for local springs and streams. There are no ski lifts on Monte Cervati and no nearby ski resort within the immediate area. Nearest service towns for larger shops, health services and rail/bus links include Padula and Sala Consilina, while Salerno is the provincial capital and the main regional transport hub. The local economy and land use around Sanza include mountain agriculture and managed woodland (chestnut and beech areas).
