Civitella Alfedena is situated half a kilometre from Lake Barrea which is one of the most popular areas of the Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park. The park is famous for its wildlife which includes bears and wolves with the latter particularly well represented among the town's visitor attractions. 

The Area Faunistica del Lupo is a segregated walking area from which it's possible to see the wolves up close, albeit from the safety of being behind a fence. Also within the town is a museum dedicated to the Apennine Wolf: the Museo del Lupo Appenninico.
