Brenta Dolomites

Special Area of Conservation (SAC)

An imposing calcareous-dolomitic mountain range in western Trentino, furrowed on all sides by variously oriented valleys and gullies, sometimes very steep, with deciduous (downy oak, manna ash and beech) and coniferous (spruce, silver fir and larch) forests. At high altitudes, there are extensive mugo forests, alpine pastures and pioneer vegetation on rock faces, scree and mobile and fixed limestone debris.
It is one of the most majestic mountain groups in the Dolomites, with a very rich flora of endemic species and differentiated vegetation in the individual valleys.

Description

The state of conservation of the environment is excellent at high altitudes, with the exception of some areas of recent urbanisation. The site is of significant national and/or provincial interest due to the presence and reproduction of endangered animal species, important glacial relicts, exclusive and/or typical of the Alps and due to the presence of karstic caves, extensive wooded slopes and water bodies of obvious importance. Presence of Annex II invertebrate species, including prioiritarian species, indicating mature broadleaf forests in good natural condition and watercourses of high biological quality.
Priority habitat 6210 (wonderful orchid blooms) present in the most marginal and thermophilic areas with 0.1% cover.
Habitats of special interest not included in Annex I of Directive 92/43/EEC are present, in particular Adenostylo glabrae - Abietetum and Cardamino pentaphyllo - Abietetum.
Val di Tovel with the included area of the malga Flavona is particularly valuable for its naturalness aspects.
