Further informationForni Valley
The paths wind along the Val Cedéc and the Forni Valley, located in the center of the Ortles - Cevedale group. The two valleys, shaped by the action of imposing glaciers, offer many points of observation for flora, fauna, landscapes and geomorphology.

Fraele Valley
Wide and suggestive valley of glacial origin, the Fraele Valley is today characterized by the presence of two large artificial basins. Joined the Stelvio National Park in 1977, it is the ideal starting point for excursions to the surrounding valleys, which are still wild and unspoiled.

Val Zebrù
Val Zebrù is considered one of the most important valleys of the Stelvio National Park. Its particular morphology - which determines the marked difference between the two sides - its wealth of floristic species and its numerous ungulates, as well as the presence of the bearded vulture and the golden eagle make it an indispensable destination for tourists and nature lovers. The typical wooden constructions here testify to the exploitation of mankind since ancient times.

La Réit
Réit is made up of an imposing limestone wall overlooking Bormio. Its steep slopes, rich in alpine flora and fauna, determine the favourable local climate, protecting Bormio from the cold wind that comes from the north-east.

Rezzalo Valley
Located on the orographic left of the Adda river, the Rezzalo Valley develops for about 13 km, starting from the inhabited area of Fumero (1.465 mt) and following the path of the Rezzalasco stream to the Passo dell'Alpe. The itinerary consists of a military road, winding through the dense spruce woods that cover the right side, while on the left there are the steep valleys, colonized by the green alder, that overlook large cone-covered meadows.

Gavia Pass
Nature Itineraries in Gavia Pass
The Gavia Valley represents one of the most beautiful examples of glacial morphology. The wide U-profile proves the immense work done by the glaciers in creating this high altitude landscape, populated by animals and plants that are adapted to this climate and to the very short summer season.
Stelvio Pass
Nature Itineraries in Stelvio Pass
Going up the historic Stelvio state road, built since 1820, you will reach the Stelvio Pass, the second highest Alpine pass in Europe. The high altitudes reached are characterized by signs of the "recent" presence of glaciers - even where ice has now disappeared - and are inhabited by highly specialized plants, in order to survive the difficult conditions of the high mountains.
Camuna Valleys
with the expansion in 1977, four Brescian valleys became part of the territory of the Stelvio National Park, on the right side of the Upper Camonica Valley (Val Grande, Val Canè, Val delle Messi and Val di Viso), together with a large area southwest of Valfurva and a large portion of territory between Bormio and Livigno.
