Fanes-Sennes-Prags Nature Park, Nature reserve in South Tyrol, Italy
Fanes-Sennes-Prags Nature Park spans six municipalities and offers forests, alpine meadows, and mountain landscapes across the Dolomites region. The terrain connects different elevations and displays varied vegetation zones from dense woodlands to open high plateaus.
The park received multiple protection designations in 1980, establishing itself as an ecologically important zone in South Tyrol. These measures responded to the growing need to preserve the natural resources of the Dolomites.
The park carries names in multiple languages, reflecting the cultural diversity of South Tyrol. Local communities in the surrounding valleys have used these mountains as both home and workspace for generations.
The area is served by a network of marked trails connecting different sections and accessible throughout the year. Visitors should note that conditions vary significantly by season, especially in higher elevations during winter.
The protected area holds three distinct environmental protection designations simultaneously: a Special Protection Area, a Site of Community Importance, and a conservation area. This multiple designation demonstrates the exceptional ecological diversity and value of the territory.
