Santo Stefano d'Aveto

Santo Stefano d’Aveto lies in the upper Aveto Valley, where the Aveto River passes through the wooded, high country of the Ligurian Apennines. The town is part of the Aveto Regional Natural Park, a protected area of forests, streams and mountain pastures near the regional boundary with Emilia-Romagna. Monte Maggiorasca, the highest peak in Liguria, rises in the surrounding range. In the centre, Castello Malaspina-Fieschi recalls the influence of two powerful medieval noble families. Local cooking is closely tied to mountain produce, including the area’s noted potatoes. Discover how Santo Stefano d’Aveto connects with the wider Ligurian Apennines by browsing webcams nearby.
