Parco naturale delle Capanne di Marcarolo, Regional park in Province of Alessandria, Italy.
The protected area spans 8,215 hectares across mountainous terrain of the Ligurian and Piedmont Apennines, featuring Monte Tobbio at 1092 meters elevation.
Established in 1979, the park includes artificial lakes constructed in the late 19th century to supply water and electricity to the city of Genova.
The Ecomuseum of Cascina Moglioni presents local traditions and produces regional specialties such as Formaggette delle Capanne cheese.
The park maintains a network of marked trails managed by the Italian Hiking Federation, with two mountain huts providing shelter for visitors.
The geological foundation consists of peridotites and serpentinites formed by the collision of African and Eurasian tectonic plates.
