Mount Ghello

Special Area of Conservation (SAC)

Hillside meadows at the foot of Monte Finonchio descending towards Vallagarina.
The site is home to some of the best-preserved orchid meadows in Trentino, which are significant in terms of vegetation. The thermophilous groves are also home to important species.
It is of considerable interest as a transit area for birds during migration and was known in the past for the aucupium activity, carried out by means of the laying of prodine and tracts. Representative site of habitats suitable for thermophilous species.
