Crinale Pichea - Rocchetta

Crinale Pichea - Rocchetta is a protected nature reserve in the mountains of Trentino featuring meadows, forests and rocky slopes at different elevations. The landscape shifts between open grasslands and denser woodland patches, creating habitats for mountain birds and alpine plant species.

This protection zone was designated in 2017 by the European Union as a Natura 2000 site to safeguard rare bird species and mountain ecosystems. This recognition was part of a broader European network aimed at protecting threatened natural areas.

Local administrative bodies in Ledro coordinate with researchers and environmental organizations to monitor and study the ecological patterns within the protected area.

Visitors can find marked hiking trails and access points around the reserve that are maintained by local authorities. It is advisable to wear sturdy footwear and weather-resistant clothing since mountain conditions can change quickly.

This location is home to plant species primarily found in the Lombard Prealps, and this reserve marks the eastern edge of their natural range. This botanical distinction makes the area of particular interest to nature lovers and researchers.
