The Lago di Pio, in the charming village of Villa Lago, is a small jewel immersed in nature, perfect for a relaxing break during your hike. A comfortable circular path allows you to go all the way around the lake, offering tranquil views and several panoramic spots, ideal for stopping on the benches and enjoying the silence. This place has become even more special in recent years: starting from 2020, during the lockdown due to covid, deer (especially females) began to approach the village. Over time, they have become accustomed to human presence and today it is possible to encounter them moving freely through the streets of Villa Lago or along the lake shores. A unique experience that makes this stop even more fascinating and memorable.

Mount Genzana (2,170 m above sea level) is a mountain in the Abruzzo Apennines, belonging to the Marsicani Mountains group, located in the province of L'Aquila in lower Abruzzo, between the municipalities of Pettorano sul Gizio, Scanno, and Introdacqua. The route is sometimes technical; you'll encounter scree and rocks, and in some places the trail is not visible. Despite this, you'll be rewarded with a fantastic view! A windbreaker is a must for the descent, as temperatures drop quickly in cloudy weather.
