On the opposite side opens up the Orecchiella Park, which lies completely within the Apennines' area. Comparatively limited in size (approximately 52 square kilometres), it is located at a level of 1,200 to 2,000 metres on the Apennines' ridge belonging to Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna, where it borders on the Parco del Gigante in the region of Emilia-Romagna. Together with the latter, it forms a protected area of invaluable naturalistic value.

The Orecchiella Park is characterized by vast and luxuriant broadleaf woods, especially beech, making the most of the locally abundant waters. Over 1,700 metres, wide ridge grasslands open up and reach the highest levels.
The heart of the protected area consists in three Natural reserves called "Pania di Corfino", "Lamarossa" and "Orecchiella", managed by the State through the Corps of Foresters, which also play an essential role of co-ordination, orientation, incentive and experimentation.
The variety of animals and plants existing in the park is exceptional. Many of them are to be considered rare or even endemic. Among the animals, a remarkably important element is the presence of the golden eagle and the wolf, whose recent reappearance is contributing to the re-establishment of a biological balance that has been lost for years. is characterized by vast and luxuriant broadleaf woods, especially beech, making the most of the locally abundant waters.
