Parco Naturale Adamello Brenta
The largest protected area in Trentino: Adamello-Presanella and Dolomiti di Brenta, between the Val di Non, the Val di Sole and the Giudicarie.
Established in 1967 with the first provincial urban plan, it was, together with Paneveggio Pale di San Martino, one of the first two provincial parks in Italy. It extends over about 620 square kilometres in western Trentino and includes the Adamello-Presanella and Brenta groups, separated by the Val Rendena, between 477 metres and the 3,558 metres of the Presanella. It has over 80 lakes, including Lake Tovel, and the Adamello glacier; the idea of the park also arose to protect the last population of brown bear in the Alps, and the bear is still present there. It is a UNESCO geopark and the Brenta group is part of the Dolomites World Heritage Site.
