The paper introduces the outcomes of a research on the accessibility to the main daily services in the Apennine municipalities in Val Trebbia and Nure. Experiencing two accessibility indices for measuring the access to territorial and local services, the paper deals with the concept of accessibility by proximity in a mountain context, characterized by a low settlement density, in order to guarantee inclusiveness, and coping with the depopulation processes affecting these territories.

Keywords: accessibility by proximity; inner areas; daily services; Trebbia valley; Nure valley.
