Alpe Veglia and Alpe Devero Natural Park

The park extends across 8,593 hectares, featuring two mountain basins with high-altitude meadows, glacial valleys, and peaks reaching over 2000 meters in elevation.

Created in 1995 by merging two existing protected areas, Alpe Veglia Nature Park from 1978 and Alpe Devero Nature Park from 1990.

Local communities have modified the mountain landscape since medieval times through farming practices and pastoral activities that continue to shape the environment.

The park offers numerous hiking trails, accommodation options including Meublè Vecchio Scarpone, and information services at the Ufficio Informazioni La Porteia visitor center.

Scientists discovered a new mineral named Deveroite within the park boundaries in 2014, adding to the geological significance of this protected area.
