Family Holidays Overview

Family Walking in Majella, Abruzzo


Family Walking in Majella, Abruzzo

This beautiful and mountainous region of Central Italy has alpine meadows, tranquil beech-woods, deep gorges, hidden valleys and crystal-clear streams. For younger children, the friendly village of Decontra is safe to roam around, and the gardens of your accommodation have plenty of space to play. There are a variety of short and medium walks, with great picnicking and paddling opportunities. For older children, there are secluded rock hermitages built high into the cliff-sides to explore, and high mountain peaks to conquer. Self-guided walks from ½ hour to full day ensure there is something for everyone, and an Upland Explorer activity pack is provided to keep all children interested and informed. You are completely free to do whatever you choose each day, depending on how your family feel. Take your delicious packed-lunch (provided daily for you) to the top of a mountain, or jump into your hire-car and head for the ice-cream shop: it is up to you!
