Established in 1935 in the heart of the central Alps, the Stelvio National Park, one of the oldest Italian national parks, includes the whole area of the Ortles-Cevedale massif and its side valleys and stretches over the four Italian provinces of Trento, Bolzano, Sondrio and Brescia. In Trentino it covers the areas of the Val di Rabbi and the Val di Peio.
The natural landscape of this area is characterised by its uniqueness, as you can admire all kinds of different alpine formations, from glaciers to alpine pastures to valley basins. Extensive woods, meadows, waterfalls, watercourses and malghe are only some of the spectacular landscapes of this place. The altitude of the park stretches from 650 m a.s.l. up to the summit of Mt. Ortles at impressive 3,905 m a.s.l. This huge difference in altitude makes the area a true natural gem where numerous different ecosystems, animal and plant species converge.
The park can be visited all year round and besides discovering the beauty of nature, you can also find out more about the history, culture and the environment of this area, such as ancient Venetian sawmills, malghe, traditional cheese factories, as well as botanic trails and faunistic areas. The visitor centres (with five of them being in Trentino) provide you with all the information you need for your visit.
