The park is the first eco-adventure park established in the Calabria region.
The structure utilizes a 'zero impact' construction technique, ensuring no nails or bolts are driven into the living trees.
It is situated in the heart of the Sila Piccola, an area known for having some of the cleanest air in Europe.
The aerial routes are designed to be removable, meaning they can be dismantled without leaving permanent alterations to the forest ecosystem.
Orme nel Parco is an eco-adventure park situated within the Sila National Park in the Calabria region of Italy. The park features high-rope aerial courses integrated into the forest canopy, requiring participants to navigate bridges, nets, and zip lines. It is constructed entirely with eco-sustainable materials that minimize impact on the surrounding silver fir and pine forest. The facility includes dedicated paths for both adults and children, categorized by difficulty and height requirements. It functions as an educational hub for environmental awareness within the Apennine mountain range. The site is located at an altitude of approximately 1,500 meters above sea level, providing a cool microclimate during the summer months.
The suspension bridge sections within the upper canopy routes offer a view into the dense pine forest floor below.
Wear athletic clothing and closed-toe sport shoes with a good grip for the aerial courses.
Bring a light windbreaker or fleece, as temperatures drop significantly in the high-altitude forest even in summer.

Complete the mandatory safety briefing thoroughly before attempting any course.
Avoid arriving without a reservation during August, as the park reaches capacity quickly.
