Opi

Chamois, bears and wolves share the mountains around Opi, a medieval village on a rocky spur inside the Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park. It looks onto an amphitheatre of peaks led by Monte Marsicano and Monte Petroso, and is one of the wettest and coldest places in Abruzzo. Walkers head into Val Fondillo's ancient beech woods, while winter brings cross-country skiers to the Macchiarvana plateau.
