Parco naturale della Valle del Ticino

Parco naturale della Valle del Ticino is a regional park with forests, wetlands, and riverbanks along the Ticino River. The land contains different habitats with oxbow lakes, ponds, and dense plant growth.

The park was created in 1978 to protect the river landscape and its habitats. In 2022, it became part of the UNESCO World Network of Biosphere Reserves, gaining international recognition.

Local people use the area for birdwatching and nature walks, connecting with the river landscape and its natural rhythms. Visitors find themselves in a place where daily life includes observing seasonal changes and appreciating wildlife.

The park is accessible through multiple entry points with marked trails for walking and cycling. Clear pathways and signs help visitors navigate and explore the different areas comfortably.

The area is home to a notable amphibian population and serves as a critical migration route for bird species traveling between major lake systems. This function makes it a vital location for understanding seasonal bird movement patterns.
