Outdoors

1. Trail of the 5 Fairy Tales

In Rapone there are 5 magical spots where you might meet the enchanted beings from the old tales: U Scazzamauriedd, U Lup Cumunal, A Mana Longh, U Scorciaman, and A Masciara. Where are these spots? You can either follow your instinct like a real detective, or you can follow the map you’ll get at the Tourist Office! Want a hint of what to look for? Click here

2. The Princesses' Path

Hop on your bike and ride along the Path of the Princesses. Here you’ll discover “Stories of Courage and Kindness” and meet the most beloved fairy tale characters. It’s a safe and peaceful ride: cars are not allowed here. No bike? No problem! It’s a short and lovely walk. The path runs for over 700 meters along the southern edge of the village.

3. The Wishing Dandelion

From the square with the fountains, you can see the whole world. Express your wish under the Giant Dandelion and it will fly high with the wind. Imagine your dream is a dandelion seed: all it takes is a gentle puff, and off it goes into the sky. So don’t miss your chance: close your eyes, make your wish, and… good luck!

4. Playground at the Villa Comunale

Everyone loves to play! In this green park full of slides, swings, and games, U Scazzamauriedd sometimes shows up with his inseparable red hat on. But don’t be afraid of him! When he is in the playground, he is always in a good mood! And don’t forget to say hi to Petrosinella (that’s Rapunzel’s real name!): she’s just around the corner. Ready for a selfie with her?

5. Rapone Adventure Park

Feeling brave like Indiana Jones? Bring the whole family to the Adventure Park: climb trees, cross rope bridges, and imagine your own thrilling journeys into the wild. And if you get hungry, at Rapone Adventure Park everything’s ready for a perfect picnic.
