Inspirational Tours

L'Aquila Italian Capital of Culture 2026, a recognition that celebrates the history, the capacity for rebirth and the extraordinary cultural wealth of one of the most fascinating territories in the Apennines. The city thus becomes the ideal starting point for discovering the authentic soul of the surrounding territory, amidst villages, landscapes and communities that cherish centuries-old traditions.
The Inspirational Tours of the Gran Sasso's Narrating Villages are born precisely with this spirit: not simple guided tours, but immersive experiences that combine the discovery of L'Aquila with the small villages of the Integrated Tourist Destination of the Gran Sasso's Narrating Villages, in the heart of the Gran Sasso and Monti della Laga National Park.
During these itineraries, guests can stroll through L'Aquila's squares and historical buildings, and then continue to the mountain villages of the area, meeting inhabitants, craftsmen, producers and life stories that tell the deep connection between people and places.
Each tour can be customised according to guests' interests: culture, nature, local traditions, food and wine, or meetings with communities. An authentic and slow way of experiencing the area, letting oneself be inspired by the landscapes and stories that make the Gran Sasso unique.
