The park is located within the Parco Regionale delle Alpi Apuane, a protected area known for its unique marble-rich geology.
The courses are built using non-invasive techniques to ensure the health and structural integrity of the chestnut trees.
The name 'Buffardello' originates from local Tuscan folklore, referring to a mischievous woodland spirit believed to inhabit the forest.
The facility is designed for both recreational use and as a specialized team-building environment for corporate or school groups.
Selva del Buffardello Adventure Park is an outdoor aerial obstacle course set within a dense chestnut forest in the Garfagnana region of the Apennine Mountains. The facility features multiple rope courses of varying difficulty levels, ranging from beginner circuits for children to advanced high-altitude routes for experienced climbers. Participants navigate suspended bridges, zip lines, and swinging logs anchored to living trees. The park utilizes a continuous lifeline safety system that remains attached throughout the course duration. It is situated at an elevation of approximately 800 meters, providing a cooler microclimate during summer months. The site includes designated picnic zones and areas for relaxation beneath the forest canopy.
The highest platform of the expert route offers an unobstructed panoramic view over the Garfagnana valley.
