Responsibilities and functions
The Park is in direct contact to the north with the Swiss National Park, and to the south with the Trentino Adamello-Brenta Nature Park and the Lombardy Adamello Park: all these parks together make up a vast protected area in the heart of the Alps, covering almost 400,000 hectares.
The approximately 17,000 hectares of the Trentino section of the park include the municipalities of Peio, Rabbi and Pellizzano (Val di Sole).
In 2016, the consortium that managed the Park, formed by the Ministry of the Environment, the Autonomous Provinces of Trento and Bolzano and the Lombardy Region, was abolished. The administrative functions, for the Trentino sector, passed to the Autonomous Province of Trento, which exercises them through the Sustainable Development and Protected Areas Service.
The unitary configuration of the Park is ensured by a special Coordination and Steering Committee.
The Park is responsible for the protection and conservation of ecosystems, landscape protection, the harmonious integration of nature and culture, scientific research, environmental education, tourism development and promotion.
In July 2023, at the end of the long process initiated by the three sectors in 2017, the Park Plan was definitively adopted, the main planning and protection tool for the protected area.
