Palu delle Maresse

Local reserve

Cariceto near the Malga of the same name, between the municipalities of Castel Condino and Valdaone (Valle del Chiese).

The nature reserve, located not far from the extensive Monte Rema' - Clevet Special Area of Conservation, is one of the protected areas that make up the Valle del Chiese Network of Reserves.

Description

The reserve protects the marshy area that opens up a short distance from the road to Malga Maresse. The peat bog, fed by the waters flowing down from the Maresse Lake (a little higher up), is surrounded by sparse larch formations, which in fine weather are home to grazing cattle.

The wetland is dominated by the presence of sphagnum mosses, subject in places to colonisation by caterpillar(Calluna vulgaris) and blueberry(Vaccinium myrtillus) shrubs. During the spring, when the amount of water is greater, mountain frogs and common toads come here to breed.

Together with Maresse Lake, this local reserve is the natural complement to the nearby Monte Remà-Clevet Special Area of Conservation, protecting the delicate ecological balances that govern the environments it hosts.

Additional information

Items of interest

Mount Rema' - Clevet

Special Area of Conservation (SAC)

The area, located in the south-western pre-Alpine belt of Trentino, comprises two vast glacial cirques with larch and green alder formations.
In the flat areas at the bottom of the cirques and on the slopes there are numerous low fens with Cyperaceae and a small lake bordered by a band of magnocariceti.
There are particularly interesting habitats of both limestone and volcanic matrices in the Alpine environment. Widespread to the west, near the provincial boundary, is the sparse larch woodland with wide grasslands interrupted by rocky walls.

Network of Chiese Valley Reserves

From the river and lake environments that characterise the River Chiese and the Trentino banks of Lake Idro, to the high altitude habitats with the complex of peat bogs and alpine lakes culminating in Mount Remà, passing through meadows, chestnut groves and particular woodland formations: the Network encompasses a precious mosaic of nature and landscape, enriched by 5 'nodes' of the Natura 2000 Network and 6 local reserves.
