A Gentle and Sober Alpine Environment

The Park includes two mountain basins: Alpe Veglia on the Lepontine Alps at the head of Val Cairasca bordering on Switzerland and Alpe Devero in Val d'Ossola, always in the northern part of Piedmont. A gentle and sober alpine environment: gentle in the undulating high-mountain grasslands and sober in the austerity of the great mountains and of the huge mountain ranges beaten by the wind. An environment shaped by man, the result of the toil of many generations of mountaineers.
