Parco naturale Val Troncea

The Val Troncea Natural Park extends across 3,280 hectares between 1,670 and 3,280 meters, with Punta Rognosa marking its highest elevation point.

The park's territory reveals traces of copper mining activities that continued until 1904, when operations ceased following a substantial avalanche at Colle del Beth.

Traditional mountain hamlets like Laval, Seytes, and Troncea maintain their original architecture and demonstrate historical Alpine settlement patterns in the region.

Multiple marked hiking trails connect different sections of the park, offering routes from valley floors to mountain peaks with visitor centers in strategic locations.

Local shepherds at Alpe Mei produce and sell mountain cheeses during summer months, continuing centuries-old dairy traditions in the Alpine pastures.
