Discover San Severino Lucano
Accommodation in San Severino Lucano
San Severino Lucano appeals to travelers who do not want to reduce their stay to a single experience. Hiking stages along the Sentiero Italia CAI, sacred culture, ancient mills, nature in Bosco Magnano and a festival held on fixed dates offer different perspectives on the area. RB Ride also adds a distinctive touch. This allows you to decide before your trip whether to focus on exercise, regional tradition, landscape or a combination of these.

Hiking with two different points of reference
For hikers, the two stages of the Sentiero Italia CAI are particularly interesting because they include the center of San Severino Lucano in different ways. Stage SI T02 reaches the center of San Severino Lucano. Stage SI T03 begins in the center of San Severino Lucano and continues along roads and paths toward Bosco Magnano. This allows you to distinguish when planning your day whether the center is the destination or the starting point of your stage.
A special ride alongside hiking
A completely different experience is offered by RB Ride. RB Ride has 12 colorful gondolas and completes one rotation every 15 minutes. This also makes RB Ride interesting for travel plans that include another experience alongside hiking.
Places of worship, origins and local tradition
The cultural side of the area is primarily sacred and rooted in tradition. The Santuario della Madonna di Pollino is one of the important places of worship in San Severino Lucano. The Chiesa di S. Maria degli Angeli is also one of the important places of worship in San Severino Lucano. The origins of the Santuario della Madonna del Pollino are traditionally traced back to the first decades of the 18th century. On the first Sunday in June, the statue of the Madonna del Pollino is brought to the Santuario della Madonna del Pollino. The actual Feast of the Madonna del Pollino takes place on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday of the first week of July. If you want to experience culture not only through buildings but also through traditional customs, you will find both aspects here. In addition, the ancient Calabrese, Ammirati and Fasanella mills in San Severino Lucano are of great interest.
Nature and accessible experiences in Bosco Magnano
Bosco Magnano is one of the natural attractions of great interest in San Severino Lucano. The Pollino Adventure Park in Bosco Magnano is accessible to wheelchair users; some of the adventure courses were specifically designed for people with disabilities. This specific focus may be important to you if different mobility needs have to be taken into account when planning your day.
