Parco naturale del Gran Bosco di Salbertrand

Parco naturale del Gran Bosco di Salbertrand is a protected forest area in the Metropolitan City of Turin with elevations ranging from 1,000 to 2,600 meters (3,280 to 8,530 feet). The terrain features different woodland types and rising slopes that cover a substantial region.

The forest served as a major timber source for large-scale construction projects in the 17th and 18th centuries. This resource supported the building of significant structures that shaped the region's architecture.

The valley holds onto traditions that shape how communities relate to the land and its resources. These practices remain visible in how the landscape is used and cared for today.

The park has numerous marked trails that lead from the valley floor toward higher elevations with varied difficulty levels. Access points from multiple locations allow visitors to explore different sections depending on their preferences.

A stable wolf population has inhabited the area since the 1990s after naturally migrating from the western mountains. These predators have integrated into the local ecosystem and influence wildlife balance in the region.
