Comunità Montana Alento Monte Stella – Green heart of Cilento among villages, woods and viewpoints. The Alento Monte Stella Mountain Community extends in the heart of the Cilento National Park, between the course of the Alento river and the panoramic peak of Monte Stella. It is a territory made up of authentic villages, green paths, ancient traditions and spectacular views that embrace the sea and the mountains. 🌄 Unspoiled nature and amazing views: The chestnut, oak and holm oak woods wrap around the paths that climb up to 1,131 meters of Monte Stella, from which you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the Cilento coast and the Gulf of Salerno. The Alento river, with its dam and naturalistic oasis, offers opportunities for relaxation and discovery. 👉 Tip: Walk the path to the summit of Monte Stella at dawn: the view that opens up to the sea is an unforgettable gift. 🏘️ Cilento villages and rural identity: The villages that make up the Mountain Community – such as Stella Cilento, Sessa Cilento, Omignano, Rutino, Lustra and Perdifumo – preserve a heritage of traditions, stone architecture and atmospheres suspended in time. 👉 Tip: Visit Rocca Cilento, one of the most evocative villages, with its medieval castle and panoramic views of the inland Cilento. 🍽️ Local flavors between hills and sea: The cuisine of the area is simple, authentic and deeply linked to the territory: extra virgin olive oil, white figs from Cilento, goat cheeses, wood-fired bread and traditional peasant dishes are accompanied by local wines and artisanal liqueurs. 👉 Tip: At the farmhouse try the "ciambotta cilentana", a mix of seasonal vegetables with stale bread: an explosion of genuine taste. 🚶 ♂️ Trekking and slow tourism: The area is perfect for lovers of trekking and slow tourism: well-marked paths, glimpses of nature, regenerating silences. From Lake Alento there are itineraries for families and more challenging routes towards the heights of Monte Stella. 👉 Tip: Rent an e-bike to explore the scenic trails through forests and ancient olive groves effortlessly. 🏡 Rural reception and hospitality: Farmhouses, holiday homes and small B&Bs offer stays surrounded by greenery, in contact with village life and the genuineness of the locals. 👉 Tip: Stay in a structure in Stella Cilento: ideal for moving between paths, villages and beaches of Cilento in a short time. The Comunità Montana Alento Monte Stella is a refuge of peace, nature and traditions: a place where time slows down and every step becomes an encounter with the most authentic essence of Cilento.
