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.

Adamello Brenta Nature Park

The Adamello Brenta Nature Park is the largest protected area in Trentino.
Established in 1967, it extends into western Trentino and includes the Adamello and Brenta mountain groups.
The park offers visitors many visitor centres and themed trails to explore nature themes. It is very active in the field of research and education.

It is one of the national excellences for geology, recognised as a Geopark by Unesco.
