Special Area of Conservation (SAC)
An imposing calcareous-dolomitic mountain range in western Trentino, furrowed on all sides by variously oriented valleys and gullies, sometimes very steep, with deciduous (downy oak, manna ash and beech) and coniferous (spruce, silver fir and larch) forests. At high altitudes, there are extensive mugo forests, alpine pastures and pioneer vegetation on rock faces, scree and mobile and fixed limestone debris.
It is one of the most majestic mountain groups in the Dolomites, with a very rich flora of endemic species and differentiated vegetation in the individual valleys.
