Description
The Val di Gola, also called Burrone di Ravina, is characterised by a wild and almost inaccessible environment with forests, shrublands and alpine grasslands. The site is of relevant national and provincial interest for the presence and reproduction of endangered animal species, important glacial relicts, exclusive and typical of the Alps.
The landscape is characterised by extensive and imposing rocky areas, interspersed in the less steep areas with beech woods and in the lower areas with pioneer hornbeams. In the rocky crags, there are sesleria ledges and highly valuable chasmophytic vegetation.
Important birds of prey, such as the golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos), goshawk(Accipiter gentilis), sparrowhawk(Accipiter nisus) and black kite(Milvus migrans) find refuge and nesting sites here, and among the ungulates, the rock ledges are home to large groups of chamois(Rupicapra rupicapra).
