The woodland with its larches, spruces, Scots pines, white firs, poplars, birch trees and aspens; the lawns with more than 1.000 different kinds of flowers; waters, fauna, crystals and rocks, all of them are protected.
Here it is forbidden to hunt roe deer, ibex, foxes, groundhogs, eagles, partridges.

The guardianship-project of Ortles-Cevedale territory was realized in 1935 with the establishment of the Stelvio National Park, followed in the years by different steps defining the boundaries of this area reaching today the bordering Swiss National Park of Engadina, thus originating a whole protected area.

Stelvio National Park is the largest in Italy: 1.350 sq km of wild life & nature full of duly marked trails all equipped with benches and rest areas.
