Altopiano delle Rocche – Mountain air, nature and small villages of Abruzzo. Located in the heart of the Abruzzo Apennines, the Rocche Plateau extends between the municipalities of Rocca di Mezzo, Rocca di Cambio, Ovindoli and Rovere. At over 1,200 meters above sea level, it is a perfect destination in all seasons: in winter for snow, in summer for fresh air, in spring and autumn for foliage and blooms. 🏔️ Mountains, forests and endless views: The plateau is surrounded by the peaks of Sirente and Velino, offering wide open spaces, beech forests, flowery clearings and clear skies. An ideal place for those who love silent and authentic nature. 👉 Tip: Take the path that connects Rocca di Mezzo to Terranera: simple and panoramic, perfect even for the family. 🎿 Sports and outdoor activities: In winter, Ovindoli and Campo Felice offer some of the best-equipped ski resorts in Abruzzo. In summer, the plateau becomes a paradise for cyclists, hikers, lovers of horseback riding and forest walks. 👉 Tip: Rent an e-bike in Rocca di Cambio and ride along the paths between the fields and beech forests. 🏘️ Stone villages and authenticity: The villages of the plateau still retain an authentic mountain atmosphere. Small towns with stone houses, quiet streets, churches and fountains where time seems to slow down. 👉 Tip: Visit Rovere in the late afternoon, when the light goes down and the village turns orange and silence. 🌼 Protected nature and biodiversity: The plateau is part of the Sirente-Velino Regional Natural Park, an area rich in flora and fauna. In spring, the meadows are colored with alpine flowers; in autumn, the beech forests are tinged with gold and copper. 👉 Tip: Walk at dawn in the Piano di Pezza or in the Cerchiata Valley to listen to the bellows of the deer in season. 🍝 Mountain cuisine and strong flavors: Arrosticini, polenta, peasant soups, sheep's milk cheeses and rustic desserts such as "sweet pizza" or "mostaccioli" are the protagonists of the table. All accompanied by Montepulciano d'Abruzzo or local wines. 👉 Tip: Book a lunch in a hut or hut and try the "St. Stephen's lentil soup" with sausage. 🛌 Stays of peace and nature: Alpine hotels, stone B&Bs, houses in the woods and panoramic farmhouses offer relaxation, clean air and regenerating silence.

The Altopiano delle Rocche is the Abruzzo of pure air, of the slow pace and of the seasons that make themselves felt. A place that truly regenerates.
