Bogs of Monte Sous

Special Area of Conservation (SAC)

A complex of peat bogs on the mountainous reliefs of the upper Val di Non developed in slope, saddle and glacial cirque positions with little morphology, all in vast clearings in the spruce and larch woods.
The vegetation is that of flat fens, transitional fens and raised bogs; on the outer edge of some fens, there are also patches of pecceta on peat (wooded fens).

Description

A site of exceptional interest, due to the numerous and extensive peat bogs scattered in the spruce forest, partly developed on peat layers (an example of alpine taiga), which is absolutely rare on the entire southern side of the Alps.
It is a vitally important biotope for the reproduction of many species of amphibians and reptiles, as well as being of ornithological interest due to the presence of typical species of Alpine avifauna.
