Brief presentation leaflet of the protected areas entrusted to the management body of the protected areas of the Cottian Alps.
The Piedmont Region established the Natural Parks of the Avigliana Lakes, the Orsiera Rocciavrè, the Gran Bosco di Salbertrand and the Val Troncea in 1980. In the same year he also founded the Chianocco Reserve to which he added, in 1998, the Foresto Reserve.
Together with others (94 in total, including the Gran Paradiso and Val Grande national parks), they make up the Piedmontese Protected Areas System. Following European Directives, several Sites of Community Importance (SCI) have been identified. With different degrees of protection, today over 15% of the regional territory is protected, forming the complex of the so-called "Natura 2000 Network".
Val Susa and the upper Val Chisone, due to their environmental and morphological particularities, host 23 SCIs. Two of these, the xerothermal oases of the lower Val Susa and Rocciamelone, are directly entrusted to the new management body for the protected areas of the Cottian Alps which was established in 2012 and today takes care of the four parks, the two reserves and the two SCIs.
