Description

Located between Riva del Garda and Limone, the local reserve includes one of the rare stretches of beach on the western shore of Trentino Garda.

The 500-metre long Val Gola can only be reached by lake, but landing is prohibited and access is only permitted for the purpose of its management and conservation.

In fact, the objective is to have an undisturbed stretch of the shore where the natural habitat can be found, with the aim of recreating a breeding ground for bleak and chub, native fish species that are resistant to moderate pollution conditions, which have suffered a drastic decline in recent years.

Additional information

Sarca River Park

Located in south-eastern Trentino, the territory of the River Park covers the course of the Sarca river, along its entire 80 km: an ecological corridor that connects Lake Garda to the Adamello-Brenta Natural Park, through minor protected areas.
It encompasses 27 protected areas including Natura 2000 sites, nature reserves and local areas, with very different habitats that build an important mosaic of biodiversity: many species of flora and fauna are found here, the only one in the whole of Trentino.

Parco Fluviale della Sarca is the new name of the Sarca Network of Reserves, created in 2019 following the merger of the two Networks of Reserves Sarca Basso Corso (established in 2012) and Sarca Alto Corso (established in 2013).
The leader of the River Park, which covers the territory of no less than 27 municipalities, is the BIM del Sarca.
