MOUNTAINS
Gamila (or "Papigos", as it was previously named) is the most imposing mountain in the range of N. Pindos. It is a mountain that combines two different aspects, something that makes it stand out from many mountains of Greece. Its northern side is characterised by bluffs that are cut across by deep ravines as well as impressive slopes that strikingly resemble those of the Alps. In the southern side on the other hand, there are gradually lower tops shaping a big plateau. In the north, between the mountains Trapezitsa and Kamila, there is the valley of Aoos, with the homonymous famous river running through it. The ravine of Vikos and the river Voidomatis separate the valley from the mountains Stouro and Grampala in the west. In the east another valley, the Giftokampos valley separates it from the mountains Koutsa, Koziakos and Koukourountzo. The crowns of the mountain Kamila succeed one another from the west to the east. These are: Koula (1560m.), Lapatos (2251m.), Astraka (2436m.) , Ploskos (2377m.), Gamila (2497m.), Kamila II (2480m.), Karteros (2478m.), Big Litharia (2467m.), Tsouka rosa (2376m.) , Samari (296m.), Krevati (2.375 m.), Gkoura (2466m.), Korifoula (2157m.), Kazarma (1803m.) and finally Kalogeros (2122m.). The rock of Kamila does not allow the existence of fountains, mainly in the Alpine area. In the forests of the mountain however there are many fountains. Generally water is hard to find, except for the season when the snow melts and many steams and small lakes are created. Apart from the lake Drakolimni, some other smaller lakes are Xeroloutsa, Rjzina, Rompozi and that of Agios Ilias. The mountain Gamila is characterised by big vertical rocky surfaces, steep slopes and impressive geological formations. The rocks found in the mountain are hard, concrete calcareous ones that fall off and flysh, prone to erosion.
The alpine regions of Gamila, bear evident marks of the Ice Age.

NATIONAL PARK
The mountainous ecosystems of N. Pindos for centuries have contributed to the survival of man and defined the type of activities developed in the area. The preservation of these ecosystems, in combination with the need for gradual development and compatible human activities, resulted in the foundation of the National Park of Northern Pindos and of the Institution of Management by the state in July 2002. The National Park of Northern Pindos includes four distinguishable anthropogeographical units: Zagori, Konitsa, Metsovo and the western villages of the prefecture of Grevena. Its extent is roughly 2.200 km2 and incorporates the two already existing national woodlands, Vikos - Aoos and Pindos, with the rest of the area.
In the National Park, depending on the areas of protection, human activity is allowed and traditional and outdoorsy activities, light tourism and environmental education are encouraged. Given that the region is large it was necessary to set certain protection zones that incorporate the needs of environmental protection as well as the productive activities. These zones are the areas of nature protection, the areas of preservation of biotopes and species, the regions of the National Park and the peripheral zone.
It should be noted here that Papigo and the village Vikos are the only villages of the National Park, that are located within the area of environmental protection.
