Tonale peat bog

Special Area of Conservation (SAC)

Phontic peat bog developed on the slopes bordering the Passo del Tonale (western Trentino).
The vegetation consists largely of acidophilous sedges, here and there, however, mounds of sphagnum moss have also developed, simulating the appearance of a raised bog.
