Tour Services and Guided Visits
The Park Authority suggests a rich program of initiatives and tours aimed at enhancing and promoting the territory both from a naturalistic point of view and from a historical-cultural point of view. As a matter of fact, the thick network of trails crossing the Park territory enables to discover very different environments and landscapes, natural features of great value and the important heritage of history, architecture, and traditions of Scrivia and Trebbia valleys.
To periodically receive the updated calendar of the initiatives, leave your address or e-mail at the Park Authority (Tel. +39 010 944175 - E-mail: info@parcoantola.it).
Environmental Education
Antola Park suggests environmental education programs aiming at promoting the knowledge and the respect of nature, traditions, and the landscape of Upper Scrivia and Trebbia Valleys.
To this aim, the Park Authority organizes:
- didactic activities in the classrooms and in the field for students of every age
- follow ups addressed to teachers and other people
- updating training courses
- courses about environmental issues (ex: photography courses and naturalistic observation)
- advice for particular didactic projects suggested by the schools
- conferences.

Casella Small Train
The railway line Genova-Casella, the only narrow-gauge line in Liguria, can be defined as "the railway line of the three valleys" since it crosses Val Bisagno, Val Polcevera, and Alta Valle Scrivia. When the passengers reach Casella, they can rent a mountain bike at a special price, while those who already own it, can transport it on the train, by previously booking the service; you can cycle through interesting itineraries which will lead you at the discovery of Val Vobbia, Val Brevenna, or Val Pentemina, within Antola Park.
