The Adamello-Brenta Natural Park

The Adamello-Brenta Natural Park is the biggest protected area in Trentino, with the biggest variety of fauna in the alpine chain. It includes all mountain species, in particular the brown bear recently re-introduced to this area.

The park covers an area of 618 sq. km; it includes two large zones separated by Val Rendena, most of the mountain chain of Adamello-Presanella to the west and the entire chain of Gruppo di Brenta to the east. The granite chain of the Adamello-Presanella offers imposing peaks that rise to over 3000 metres a.s.l.

From the broad glaciers that hug the peaks spring impetuous waters that flow to the valley forming majestic waterfalls. Lakes are common and Lake Tovel is universally known for the blood-red colour of its waters in summer.
