Italy highlights family-friendly travel destinations
Various travel destinations in Italy are being highlighted as ideal locations for family excursions with children. In the Molise region, a new guide titled ‘Zio dove mi porti? – Viaggiare in Molise con i bambini’ explores nature-focused tourism. Key locations include Capracotta and Prato Gentile, which offer activities such as cross-country skiing in winter and hiking through beech and fir forests in other seasons.
On the shores of Lake Maggiore, the Eremo di Santa Caterina del Sasso provides a scenic setting for families. The site offers guided tours of its 13th-century monastic complex and a ‘Colazione con guida’ initiative, which combines breakfast with local products from the Varesotto and Val d’Ossola regions with historical exploration.
Additionally, the Terminillo mountain range near Rieti serves as a getaway for families seeking cooler temperatures and forest landscapes. The area around Pian de’ Valli offers panoramic views and facilities suitable for organized stops during mountain trips.
