Majella is a mountain of a thousand faces and a thousand stories. In the heart of the Apennines, facing and dominating the Adriatic coast, the old mountain was described by Pliny as the "Father of Mountains", but then in time, it was to become "The Mother Mountain," for all the Abruzesi, rich in water, pastures, woods, and as prodigious as a mother.
From the summit to the base, the voyage of discovery of the "mother mountain" delights one with its surprises.
The wolf is the symbol of the National Park of Majella. Today, its population is growing, and the wolf continues to live its natural life in the wild spaces of the Massiccio, and to hunt its prey which has also returned to its
Natural numbers thanks to the reintroduction projects.
The program of reintroduction of the deer has had particular success, which since
1984 has returned to inhabit the mountain slopes.
