These are the ingredients of Emilia’s rich outdoor offer: discover the wonder of each valley.

The valleys

Val Tidone

Val Tidone

Val Tidone on the western border is crossed by nature trails and enchanting scenery. History and culture blend here in a rolling landscape of vineyards with skilled wine and agricultural producers. The excellence of its local products is a perfect match for the wines of the “Colli Piacentini”

Val Trebbia

Val Trebbia

Val Trebbia is one of the most geologically interesting areas in Italy. It is named after the river Trebbia, which crosses the area with clear waters and unique meanders. The Abbey of St. Colombano in Bobbio, the Neolithic Village of Travo and the medieval castles representing the history are all worth a visit!

Val Nure

Val Nure

Immerse yourself in nature and the outdoor experiences, discover old itineraries, dive into history and memories, taste authentic local products and Piacenza’s tradition: this is Val Nure but there is much more to discover.

Val d’Arda

Val d’Arda

Val d’Arda has a unique geological and natural heritage to be explored by foot, by bike or on horseback: the medieval villages of Castell’Arquato and Vigoleno, on top of hills full of vineyards, and Veleja Romana archaeological site. A landscape to be discovered while tasting “Colli Piacentini” wines, cured meats and delicious stuffed pasta!

Val Ceno

Val Ceno

Val Ceno is waiting for you! Here you can have both a relaxing stay and great outdoor activities! Past and future together, from the Castles of Bardi and Varano to the modernity of the Dallara Academy and the Riccardo Paletti Circuit of Varano. You can enjoy a walk in the woods or a ride with the Bardigiano Horse, a special native breed.

Val Taro

Val Taro

The Taro river flows through villages full of history and traditions. Nature is the key point: from the Taro course up to the highest peaks; the woods are wisely worked by man and here you can find mushrooms, truffles and chestnuts; the ancient roads cross the valley and pass through the ancient churches and castles.

East Parma Apennines

East Parma Apennines

Val Parma is the heart of the Food Valley, a land where the relationship between man, nature and culture is sealed by the recognition of Unesco MAB Reserve, with the presence of a National Park and three Regional Parks. Parmigiano-Reggiano, Prosciutto di Parma, Salame Felino and Vini dei Colli are the real excellences. Everything here invites you to stop, slow down and live.

Reggio Emilia Apennines

Reggio Emilia Apennines

The Apennines of Reggio Emilia are unspoiled nature, ancient history and culinary tradition. From peaks high more than 2000 meters, to the hills dotted with castles and villages.
