On the Deer Lakes

Parco Abruzzo
Escursioni ADATTE A TUTTI
Ticket
from 15,00 €

Walk in the Kingdom of Deer. This walk is suitable for everyone, and during the months of September and October, you may have the chance to hear the bellowing of stags (the call made by male deer during the mating season).

Starting from Lake Scanno, we will take a section of the cycle-pedestrian path to reach the village of Villalago, which hides a beautiful small lake: Lake Pio.

Here, we will admire the beauty of Lake Pio, and with a bit of luck, we may see deer with their fawns grazing on the fresh grass that surrounds the lake!

We will return to our cars by following the same route as we took on the way there.
