Description
Established in 1967, the Adamello Brenta Nature Park extends into western Trentino and includes the Adamello and Brenta mountain groups. It is crossed by Val Rendena and surrounded by the Non, Sole and Giudicarie valleys. The altitude ranges from 477 metres to 3558 metres. In 2008, the Adamello Brenta Geopark became part of the European and World Network of Geoparks under the aegis of UNESCO, given the extraordinary nature of its geological and landscape heritage. The recognition of the Adamello Brenta Natural Park as a Geopark testifies to the richness and extraordinariness of its geological heritage; it also confirms the validity of the work that has always been oriented towards the sustainable development of the territory starting from the people who live it.
The 'International Geoparks and Geosciences Programme (IGGP)' recognised the World Network of Geoparks (UNESCO Global Geoparks - UGGp): geographical areas of international geological value that are managed according to criteria of environmental protection, education and sustainable development. Geoparks work to promote knowledge of the value of geo-diversity and best practices in conservation, education and tourism enjoyment of geological heritage.
