Riserva Regionale Bosco del Vaj |
| The establishment of this Nature Reserve is mainly due to the presence of several specimens of beech trees within the characteristic chestnut tree and oak woods: the beech tree is a characteristic species of a mountain environment which found shelter on Collina Torinese during the last glaciations, and therefore is considered a "glacial relict". Different environments characterized by a very rich flora coexist: mountain species alternate with a Mediterranean flora which "migrated" here from the near Ligurian coast during the interglacial periods. Among the rarest species there are the turk's cap-lily, the spurge laurel, and different species of orchids. |  |
