Villaggio Laceno: Nature, Family Experiences and Culture

Lago Laceno is part of a natural area characterised by a lake of karst origin. At the same time, the Altopiano del Lago Laceno has an extensive and well-maintained network of trails.

Family Experiences and Guided Cycling Tours

Lacenolandia is a leisure park for children and families in the hamlet of Lago Laceno. The park offers 12 attractions for all age groups. The adventure park includes courses suspended between trees, with Tibetan bridges and a climbing wall. This means that, alongside classic amusement park experiences, families can also find an area focused on skill and physical activity.

The Centro Bike offers guided e-bike and mountain bike tours along the shore of Lago Laceno. Those who prefer to explore the landscape on two wheels can also find an easy, scenic unpaved trail in Valle D’Acero that is suitable for mountain bikes. Cyclists can choose between the guided tour along the lakeshore and the easy, scenic, unpaved trail in Valle D’Acero. The lakeshore setting of the tour and the surface of the trail represent different conditions for a cycling outing. A cycling outing at Lago Laceno can therefore be planned either as a guided tour or as a ride on an unpaved trail in Valle D’Acero.

Landscape, Trails and Wildlife Observation

The Altopiano del Laceno is a starting point for guided excursions. In the clear waters of the Fiumara di Tannera, you may encounter fire salamanders. Together with the karst lake and the extensive network of trails, this creates a natural area where observation and movement exist side by side. The Fiumara di Tannera is both the destination of a hiking route and a watercourse whose clear waters are home to fire salamanders.

There are also specific trail connections for hiking: a hiking trail leads from Piano del Tannera to the Fiumara di Tannera via Piano del Cupone and the Grotta di Strazzatrippa. The route connects several landscape names that you may encounter when finding your way around the Altopiano. The route also names intermediate points: Piano del Cupone and Grotta di Strazzatrippa.

Culture and Religious Tradition

Laceno's cultural history includes the neorealist film festival Laceno d'oro, founded in Laceno in 1958. Another form of regional tradition is the procession of the Madonna Addolorata. Every year, on the Monday after Pentecost, it leads from Bagnoli Irpino uphill to the Santa Nesta Chapel on the Altopiano del Laceno.

The Santa Nesta Chapel is now located on the shore of the lake. The date, the Monday after Pentecost, gives the procession a fixed place in the annual calendar; its route from Bagnoli Irpino uphill to the Santa Nesta Chapel indicates the geographical direction.

Winter Sports as Another Focus

The acceptance testing of the ski lifts at the Laceno ski resort has been completed.
