Parco naturale delle Lame del Sesia

The protected area spans 830 hectares along the Sesia River, featuring wetlands, swamp formations, and diverse woodland environments with native oak and ash trees.

The park administration established its boundaries in 1978, connecting multiple nature reserves including Isolone di Oldenico, Garzaia di Villarboit, and Palude di Casalbeltrame.

The surrounding region maintains traditions of wine production, particularly near Gattinara, with local vineyards producing wines from native grape varieties.

Visitors access marked trails throughout the year for birdwatching, nature photography, and guided educational activities at the park's ornithological museum.

The park's wetland system hosts 190 bird species, including 70 nesting varieties, with substantial populations of gray herons, little egrets, and night herons.
