The Mount Nuria group is found on the northern part of the province; within the mountain is a precious spring water reservoir, where the impressive Pescheria Springs begin. The Navegna and Cervia Mountains are in the Cicolano area, within a natural reserve that still has ancient villages, and its original flora and fauna.

Further south, the Duchessa Mountains, a group of calcareous mountains, demonstrate all the majesty of the Apennine summits. Then there are the Sabini Mountains that divide the Rieti valley from the Sabine area, diminishing into a series of hills towards the fertile Tiber River plain.

The summer on these peaks is an unforgettable experience. The mild climate, the native flora and fauna, the pure water, and the ancient villages, all make for an ideal destination for excursions and sports activities in the open air.

During the winter the mountains of Rieti offer a vast range of possibilities: the better known of the mountains is that of Mount Terminillo, a point of reference for winter sports in the southern central part of Italy. Between the tourist facilities of Terminillo and the city of Leonessa, there unwind more than 10 ski and chair lifts that serve over 50 km of downhill skiing, three of which are dedicated to international races and there are about 20 km. of trails for cross-country.

Ski facilities are available also in Selvarotonda di Cittareale, a marvelous place halfway between the Terminillo Mountain Group and the Laga Mountains. On the highlands of Rascino can be found splendid cross-country trails.

The Rieti mountains are wonderful for all kinds of winter sports: downhill skiing, done on every level of difficulty, hiking and mountain climbing. Experts in ice climbing and nature-lovers, who have a passion for the long winter crossings, find unique paths here.
