It is a small reserve covering 136 hectares, situated at about 5 km in the north-west of Saluzzo, not far from the Abbey of Staffarda. The river Po in this area has still got a substantially torrential character with large shores submerged after the floods; along these shores colonized by herbaceous and bushy vegetation, it is possible to find some rare representative of the Italian population of wall lizards. The Bronda is a rather short stream running through the homonymous valley on the orographical right of the river Po.
