Established by the law of 24 April 1935, it is among the first Italian national parks and extends for over 130,000 hectares across the provinces of Trento, Bolzano, Sondrio and Brescia. Its heart is the Ortles-Cevedale group: about three quarters of the territory lies above 2,000 metres, the highest peak is the Ortles at 3,905 metres, and about 150 glaciers cover almost a tenth of it. Since 2016 the Autonomous Provinces of Trento and Bolzano and the Lombardy Region have each managed their own part, with a committee that ensures its unity; the Trentino sector is based in Cogolo di Peio. The animals include deer, ibex, marmots, alpine galliformes, golden eagle and bearded vulture.
