You can discover the Park through rafting in Biselli di Norcia, descending on the river Corno on board of a raft with your friends or your family, along with a rafting guide that will give you the necessary instructions to get off the river in complete tranquility. The activity is also suitable for children. During the rafting you can have fun at the adventure park above the trees with Tibetan bridges, monkey bridges, Tyrolean and cableways, all in a very special environment: that of the river.
Another adventure park is that of Lake Fiastra (Marche), in a beautiful landscape, characterized by the lake nestled between the Sibillini Mountains. The adventure park is right on the lake, with Tibetan bridges, rope passes and a cableway that runs over the 130-meter long lake!

Even these activities are within everyone’s reach, easy and conducted in complete safety, thanks to the operators on the spot.

CURED MEATS
The history of the cured meats stems from the customs of the ancient countryside families, who were used to eating all parts of the pork. Great attention was paid to the diet of the pig, which was fed with acorns and pigswill. Nowadays this aspect is still very important and it positively influences the quality of the cured meats (salumi).
Vincisgrassi
It’s a type of paste cooked in the oven, similar to lasagna, typical of Le Marche region and of the places in Umbria region, neighbouring Macerata. The difference with the lasagna is in the type of ragù sauce, made with thicker bits of meat, and in the white sauce, which is more compact. Besides that, the taste of the spices (such as cloves and nutmeg) is stronger than in the lasagna.
CHEESE PIZZA
In Le Marche region, there’s no Easter without cheese pizza, whose aroma fills the house and whets the appetite. Ideal to accompany cured meats, it has the shape of a panettone, but instead of being sweet, it’s savoury.
