Monti Pelati, Nature reserve in Metropolitan City of Turin, Italy.

The Monti Pelati reserve extends across 146 hectares along the Chiusella stream, featuring barren hills at the western edge of Ivrea morainic amphitheater.

The establishment of the protected area occurred in 1993 through Regional Law No.29, placing it under the management of the Metropolitan City of Turin.

The region supplied olivine and magnesite for ceramic production since the 1700s, contributing to the industrial development of the surrounding municipalities.

Visitors can access the reserve through the Torino-Aosta highway, taking exit San Giorgio, or by train to Ivrea followed by GTT bus services.

The rare dark green peridotite rocks and specific soil composition create conditions for specialized plant species and approximately seventy bird species.
