Monte Ragola

Monte Ragola rises to 1,712 meters above sea level, featuring northern slopes with ophiolitic rocks and multiple glacial cirques at its base.

The mountain area contains geological evidence from the last Würm glaciation period, forming high-altitude wetlands and extensive lake basins near Monte S. Martino.

Local communities have maintained traditional disputes over common lands surrounding Monte Ragola, particularly regarding forest usage and meadows for livestock grazing.

Hikers can access the summit through a T2 designated trail starting from Passo Zovallo, with the Rifugio Monte Ragola located at 1,657 meters elevation.

The mountain hosts Alpine Newt populations in its wetlands, along with specific dragonfly communities that thrive near small stagnant water bodies.
