Parco Naturale Regionale Adamello

The Parco dell'Adamello lies in the heart of the alpine range, the Rhaetian Alps, and includes all the lombardia side of the Adamello's group, in the northeastern part of the province of Brescia .
It extends for 51.000 hectares (510 Kmq), from the Tonale Pass to that of Crocedomini; to east, its territory ends where Lombardia Region borders Trentino Region; westwards, its boundary is formed by the upper left side of the Oglio, the fifth longest italian river.
The Parco dell'Adamello is located on the left riverside of the Vallecamonica. From Tonale, towards south, the Park comprises the following towns: Ponte di Legno, Temù, Vione, Vezza d'Oglio, Incudine, Edolo, Sonico, Malonno, Berzo Demo, Cedegolo, Cevo, Saviore dell'Adamello, Paspardo, Cimbergo, Ceto, Braone, Niardo, Breno and Prestine.
The importance of the Parco dell'Adamello has increased due to its position, it acts as a bridge between the two parks with which it borders: to the east the Adamello Brenta Park (Trento region), to the north the Stelvio Park (which confines with the Engadina Swiss National Park).
This way, a protected area of 250.000 hectares was formed in the heart of Europe, the biggest in the Alps and one of the most fascinating. In this area, the Parco dell'Adamello represents the southern tip.
The Adamello Group, place of the largest glacier in Italy (a surface of about 18km2 according to current calculations), offers an aureole conformation, therefore from the central glaciers of the culminating plateau start mountainous crests and chains which, in their turn, are integrated in the subgroups of the Baitone, Frisozzo and Blumone.
Peaks, crests, mountains dominate the complex of numerous valleys spread all over the Park, so as to divide the several chains. Amongst these and going north towards south, the main valleys are: Narcanello Valley, Valbione, Avio, Vallaro, Paghéra di Vezza d'Oglio, Finale, Gallinéra, Rabbia, Malga, Saviore, Salarno, Adamé, Paghéra di Ceto, Re, Fa, Stabio, Valli, Bona, Cadino and Càffaro.
