Parco Naturale Regionale dell'Aveto

In the area between the mountain chain going from Mt. degli Abeti to Groppo Rosso, ancient glaciers have left basins housing interesting wetlands. Thanks to the waterproof nature of the soil and the natural morainic barriers, the melted waters of the glacier gathered in a series of small lakes, ponds, and peatbogs, originating peculiar environments, rich in rare plants, amphibians, and insects.
