Gambarie d'Aspromonte, a beautiful and important mountain resort which is part of the large metropolitan city of Reggio Calabria. A jewel set in the mountains where you can go on holiday all year round. In summer you can enjoy the coolness of the Aspromonte woods while in winter you can ski while admiring the sea. In fact, located in the Aspromonte National Park, you can enjoy an extraordinary view from the ski slopes and various lifts: the Strait of Messina. You can also see the Aeolian Islands and Etna. Gambarie, therefore, is part of one of the most important protected areas in Italy, in terms of naturalistic, faunal and landscape value.
His image
Gambarie is the perfect location for those who love alpine skiing. This, as it has six slopes of varying difficulty, which wind through the woods of the Aspromonte. In recent years, infrastructure has been upgraded and new slopes have been opened. Moreover, they were created adventure parks themed and equipped parking areas. It is possible to rent equipment for it skiing and snowboardand attend individual and group courses with highly qualified ski instructors.
We can well say that Gambarie is the first ski resort in the South, immersed in a suggestive naturalistic setting and with avant-garde accommodation facilities. In 1956, in fact, the first chairlift in Southern Italy was built there with the first ski slope. Over time, of course, the plants have increased and Gambarie itself has grown as a mountain center. However, it always remains a fine example of perfect between nature, landscape and town.
Skiing while looking at the sea
The station is located at 1.400 meters above sea level above sea level which is clearly distinguishable from the slopes. A unicum between mountain and sea landscape which constitutes a unique and rare naturalistic beauty. Leaving the town you can visit the spectacular Maesano waterfalls, the former American base of Nardello, the top of Montalto, the highest in the Aspromonte at almost 2 metres. And, again, the Monument of Nino Martino, a very particular group of rocks which, according to legend, was born from the stones dropped by wayfarers in the place where the famous Calabrian brigand Nino Martino (known as Cacciadiavoli) lost his life. Also in the area is the sanctuary of Our Lady of Polsi (“To Madonna dâ Muntagna”) very ancient place of worship still today a pilgrimage destination all year round.
