A riparian environment of the central medium valley, situated at the confluence of the stream Saint Marcel and the Dora Baltea, at 530 meters of altitude, in an area characterized by a continental climate. In this territory, which was originally covered by a meander of the river, there are two quarry lakes whose banks have been mainly naturalized, some ponds deriving from the confluence of a side-stream into the Dora Baltea, and a small hygrophile wood.
