Monte Bondone

A corner of wild nature just a stone’s throw from the city

Over 1,100 hectares of protected areas around the Bondone-Stivo group: peat bogs, lakes, meadows and peaks surrounding the city of Trento

Our mission

The Bondone Reserve Network covers an area around the Bondone-Stivo mountain group, with over 1,100 hectares of protected areas, eight Special Areas of Conservation and four Local Nature Reserves in the municipalities of Trento, Cimone, Garniga Terme, Vallelaghi and Villa Lagarina.

Protecting and enhancing a natural heritage that is still well preserved are the cornerstones of our work: unified, coordinated management of the protected areas that respects local traditions and the economic and social activities of the area.
