Every Friday, throughout the summer of 2026, we update the website with the events in the Parks of the Cozie Alps scheduled for the next 10 days. This year's calendar is titled "Discover and Love the Nature of the Protected Areas of the Cozie Alps" and includes a rich offering of events, conferences, guided tours, and exhibitions to liven up the days of all those who choose to visit the valleys of Susa, Chisone, and Sangone, the Natural Parks, Special Reserves, and Sites of the Natura 2000 Network managed by the Park Authority.

During the summer of 2026, which is proving to be the hottest ever and one of the most drought-stricken in the Western Alps, the management body for protected areas of the Cozie Alps is engaged in three main projects dedicated to water, which is becoming an increasingly central issue in terms of ecological balances and regarding the management of human activities at high altitudes and the safety of those who inhabit and frequent high-altitude lands.

The news is one that has an impact on public opinion: in the Protected Areas of the Cottian Alps, a species almost unknown in Italy has been found, with the first and last sighting dating back 90 years ago. It was published on July 31, 2026, in the scientific journal Biogeographia – The Journal of Integrative Biogeography thanks to the research conducted by biologist Luca Anselmo, a PhD student from the Department of Life Sciences and Systems Biology at the University of Turin, under the scientific responsibility of Simona Bonelli and Enrico Caprio as co-supervisors.

The reopening of the provincial road 173 is confirmed for Wednesday, July 1st      

Summer is the season with the highest visitor turnout in the Parks and the busiest time for park rangers, both from the perspective of monitoring and from the perspective of surveillance. Because as the number of people, tourists, shepherds, and activities in general increases, so does the likelihood that crimes will be committed against the environmental heritage. The challenge is to promote a culture of respect for the regulations that aim to ensure coexistence between humans and nature in Protected Areas. Sometimes using punitive measures, as Luca Giunti, the new head of the Surveillance Area in the Parks of the Cozie Alps, recounts.

In Salbertrand, throughout the summer, the Colombano Romean Ecomuseum and the French Language Desk of Chambra d'Oc offer territorial and linguistic animation services.

In the course of 2025, the activity of the Life Predator project in the Avigliana Lakes Natural Park has entered the heart of the captures after the study phase conducted in previous years by project partners coordinated by IRSA CNR with the staff of the Protected Areas of the Cozie Alps and the appointed professionals. With the end of the calendar year and taking advantage of the winter break in the extraction operations, it is possible to draft an initial balance on the actual reduction of the biomass of Silurus glanis from the two Avigliana Lakes. The actions have been carried out within the European Life Predator project, of which the Park Authority is a partner, for the containment of the catfish, an invasive alien species, in the freshwater basins of southern Europe.

Thursday, January 8, 2026. Meteorologists state that the cold wave – likely one of the most severe in over 10 years – has reached its peak, recording overnight minimum temperatures of -9 °C in Avigliana and -8 °C in Trana, according to measurements by Arpa Piemonte. Yet, there is still little ice visible on the surface of the Avigliana Lakes. Chronicles speak of times when the Small Lake was crossed by carts or when it was traversed aboard a Fiat Topolino in 1966, while more recent history tells us that the last significant freezing events date back to the winters of 2006 and 2012.

Nel pomeriggio di venerdì 19 dicembre, il Ministro dell’ambiente e della sicurezza energetica Gilberto Pichetto Fratin ha visitato l’Ente di gestione delle aree protette delle Alpi Cozie a Salbertrand. Il Ministro ha voluto portare il proprio saluto al nuovo presidente e al rinnovato consiglio dell’Ente Parco, nonché simbolicamente a tutta la rete degli Enti di gestione delle Aree Protette piemontesi. Le Aree Protette delle Alpi Cozie rappresentano una solida realtà nella tutela del patrimonio ecologico e delle attività umane nei territori delle valli Chisone, Sangone e Susa e del Piemonte in generale. In un contesto che rischia di condannare la montagna a una sempre più marcata marginalizzazione economica e sociale, gli Enti Parco si ripropongono come un laboratorio di sostenibilità. Le elevate competenze scientifiche e tecniche maturate nel corso di una lunga esperienza sul campo consentono infatti di incidere sul territorio anche mediante l’accesso a ingenti finanziamenti e contributi europei per la gestione innovativa e sostenibile e contribuiscono a creare sinergia con le amministrazioni pubbliche e società private locali.

Three species of small mustelids – the stoat (Mustela erminea), the weasel (Mustela nivalis), and the European polecat (Mustela putorius) – coexist in the varied landscape of North-Western Italy, but they remain largely elusive and poorly known. A recent study conducted by a group of Italian researchers, including Luca Maurino from the Protected Areas of the Cozie Alps, used ecological niche models (ENM) and a wide network of sightings to map the probability of presence of these species and compare their environmental requirements on a regional scale. The results, published on November 22nd in the scientific journal "Mammal Research", provide useful insights for guiding targeted conservation actions and focusing on emerging threats.

The Protected Areas of the Cozie Alps have created a video to tell the story of the involvement of amateur fishermen in containing the catfish from the waters of the Natural Park of the Avigliana Lakes. This is an initiative organized in 2025 by the park authority staff as part of the European Life Predator project to combat the spread of Silurus glanis, an invasive alien aquatic predator that threatens to compromise the aquatic biodiversity of water bodies in southern Europe.

With the appointment decree of the President of the Regional Council dated November 27, 2025, Elio Pulzoni has been appointed President of the Protected Areas of the Cozie Alps.

In the course of 2025, the park rangers of the Protected Areas of the Cozie Alps increased daytime and nighttime monitoring activities regarding fishing in the Natural Park of the Avigliana Lakes, issuing sanctions and carrying out seizures of prohibited equipment. However, beyond the repressive nature of the work carried out, the goal remains the prevention of illegal behaviors to protect those who respect laws and regulations and, above all, to defend a common heritage that belongs to everyone: the environment.

On October 16 and 17, a meeting took place at the headquarters in Salbertrand of the Protected Areas of the Cozie Alps among the partners of the ALCOTRA ACLIMO project, the cross-border initiative Italy-France dedicated to water resource management in times of climate crisis.

On Monday, October 29, 2025, professional fishing activities began for the containment of the catfish in the Avigliana Lakes Natural Park. The initiative is one of the actions of the Life Predator project, of which the Protected Areas of the Cozie Alps are partners, aimed at containing the Silurus glanis, the aquatic predator that represents an invasive alien species in the freshwater basins of Southern Europe.

On the late afternoon of Wednesday, September 24, 2025, the park rangers of the Management Authority of the Protected Areas of the Cozie Alps, in constant contact with the Director, intervened in Val Chisone, at a pasture in Pian dell’Alpe (municipality of Usseaux), following a report from a farmer who stated that he had been injured by a wolf while trying to prevent the predation of one of his sheep. Below is the reconstruction of the facts and the commitment of the Authority.

It is not just a chromatic issue related to the color of a butterfly's wings, but the solution to a small mystery regarding its eating habits. As we know, concerning food, lepidopterans are very selective because they mainly feed on very specific plant species, especially in the larval stage. In the case of Anthocharis euphenoides, also known as the Provence aurora, the species considered to be its preferred food source may not be the one that has been believed until now.

On Saturday, September 20, in Salbertrand, over 50 people including professionals, volunteers, enthusiasts, and photographers gathered in Salbertrand for "The Bearded Vulture Day".

Questa volta senza la divisa di guardiaparco, ma in veste di inanellatore autorizzato dall’Istituto per la Protezione e la Ricerca Ambientale (ISPRA) per un’attività di monitoraggio dell’avifauna.

The theme of mindful eating is becoming relevant in the animal world as well. It is enough to consider that plant intoxications are the second leading cause of poisoning in farm ruminants, after pesticides. For this reason, institutions and scientific authorities are conducting studies and developing tools to protect animals and raise awareness among breeders and consumers. Grazing herbivores such as cattle, sheep, goats, and horses can encounter a series of even fatal pathologies simply by feeding on grass, or rather on weeds, which are harmful species that contain pharmacologically active substances.

The Ferrata dell'Orrido di Foresto was reopened on June 28, 2025.

The American pond turtles present in the Grande Lake of Avigliana are carriers of infectious diseases that can be transmitted to humans. This is what emerges from a scientific study conducted by the Experimental Zooprophylactic Institute of Piedmont, Liguria, and Aosta Valley in the Natural Park of the Avigliana Lakes. It has been found that 13.3% of individuals were infected with salmonellosis and/or cryptosporidium.

Mercoledì 19 giugno 2025 nel Parco Naturale della Val Troncea, è stata inanellata la 48esima specie di avifauna da quando è iniziata l’attività, ormai 11 anni fa. L’uccello finito nelle reti è uno splendido esemplare di cuculo che è stato preso in carico dalle sapienti e delicate mani di Beppe Roux-Poignant, guardiaparco, e Domenico Rosselli, da poco in pensione ma presente come inanellatore riconosciuto da Ispra, che hanno effettuato tutte le misurazioni da protocollo, gli hanno apposto un anello numerato alla zampina e lo hanno liberato dopo pochi minuti in ottime condizioni.

From Wednesday, June 4 to Friday, June 6, 2025, the Protected Areas of the Cottian Alps participated in the monitoring visit of the Life Predator project, which took place in Portugal along the Tagus River basin. As expected in this type of program, the event was characterized as a technical and practical meeting halfway through the project between the project partners and the body designated by the European Union to oversee the progress of the work.

Martedì 17 giugno 2025: ARPA Piemonte segnala la presenza di schiume algali sul Lago Grande di Avigliana con potenziali rischi per la salute. Si tratta di una fioritura cianobatterica. 

The mountainous areas are among the most valuable and fragile biodiversity hotspots globally, hosting unique species adapted to harsh climatic conditions and extreme environments. However, a recent study conducted along an altitude gradient in the Western Alps highlights how protected areas, while essential for the conservation of mountain fauna, are facing increasing pressures related to climate change and land use changes, which have repercussions on mountain biodiversity.

In occasione della Giornata Mondiale dell'Ambiente vi proponiamo il video realizzato da Città Metropolitana di Torino nell'ambito del progetto Connettere l'Ambiente, dedicato a Miriophyllum spicatum nel Parco naturale dei Laghi di Avigliana.

On Monday, May 26, 2025, work began on the restoration of the landslides on the Selleries road, where the refuge and pasture are located, in the Val Chisone. This is a project that was initiated even before the significant damage recorded during the summer of 2024, whereby the Management Authority of the Protected Areas of the Cozie Alps is the beneficiary of a FESR funding of €385,500 for a project shared with the Municipalities of Fenestrelle and Roure.

On the occasion of the World Biodiversity Day, established by the United Nations in 2000, celebrated every year on May 22, we publish the results of a monitoring activity carried out by the Protected Areas of the Cozie Alps in the Avigliana Lakes Natural Park on the Emys orbicularis, the rare European marsh turtle, of which about thirty specimens survive and are at risk of extinction. A small example of biodiversity that is at risk of being lost forever.

The renovation of the road between Colle delle Finestre and Colle della Vecchia, Val Chisone, is in the starting phase. After the assignment and procurement of the works, a first operational meeting has already taken place between the involved entities and the contracted company, where the start of the construction site was set for the first days of June.

An important renovation work has been completed at the Charterhouse of Montebenedetto, in the municipality of Villarfocchiardo (TO), with extraordinary maintenance of the roof of the rural building adjacent to the church, within the monumental complex. The Carthusian abbey, founded in 1198, is managed by the Protected Areas of the Cozie Alps by the Piedmont Region, which has allocated €80,000 by the end of 2024 for extraordinary maintenance interventions and for the preservation of the heritage.

La rivista “Contributions to Entomology” ha recentemente pubblicato un articolo scientifico basato su uno studio realizzato dal personale delle Aree Protette delle Alpi Cozie. La pubblicazione edita dal Senckenberg Deutsches Entomologisches Institut ha accettato il lavoro sottoposto da Davide Giuliano, guardiaparco, e Barbara Rizzioli, funzionaria dell’Area Biodiversità, con il titolo “Mini-round box as standardized sampling method for orthopterans in alpine and subalpine grasslands: a field study to highlight strengths and weaknesses”.

The mosquito project implemented by the Protected Areas of the Cozie Alps and the municipalities of Avigliana, Sant’Antonino di Susa, Trana, and Villardora is coming to a conclusion to raise awareness among the population about the issues related to the presence of culicids in the area of the Avigliana Lakes Natural Park and its surroundings.

On April 29, 2025, with ordinance no. 6 from the Mayor of the Municipality of Chianocco, access to the Orrido di Chianocco and the Via Ferrata is reopened.

Since April 1st, the Parks of the Cozie Alps can rely on a new Anti-Poison Dog Unit (UCA) in operation. The duo formed by park ranger Lorenzo Brino and his Australian shepherd Maya has passed the final exam, the security test that certifies the dog’s ability to intervene independently in poison search activities.

At the end of March 2025, an interesting scientific article on the seasonal migratory habits of the ibex in relation to climate change was published in the Journal of Animal Ecology. It is the result of a study at the alpine level that combines a large amount of data regarding the movements of 406 radio-collared ungulates with the climatic conditions of their habitats to analyze how the seasonal variations in snow coverage, peaks of growth and vegetation senescence, and average temperatures affect the strategies and timings with which ibex move from wintering sites to the slopes where they spend the summer season, and vice versa.

Un articolo scientifico curato da Luca Anselmo, biologo e ricercatore dell'Università di Torino, collaboratore dei Parchi Alpi Cozie, pubblicato nel mese di marzo sulla rivista Journal of Orthoptera Research riguarda i risultati dello studio sulla rara cavalletta di greto in Alta Valle di Susa.

The Giletta family has been raising cattle in Val Troncea for generations. Following a flood, the aqueduct that supplied water to the farm was destroyed.
The reconstruction takes place thanks to the dialogue between the Parks of the Cozie Alps and the family, experimenting with technical solutions that have improved the quality and quantity of water available for the livestock while minimizing impacts on the landscape and biodiversity, reconciling business needs with environmental protection.

On Thursday, March 27, 2025, the Alpine Carabid Beetle (Carabus cychroides) was included in the Red List of threatened species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) in the Endangered category (risk of extinction). This is a prestigious international recognition for the endemic species of the Protected Areas of the Alpine Cozie and at the same time a warning signal certifying its risk of disappearance.

The Life Predator project team has produced the second issue of the newsletter to illustrate the progress of the work.

Interreg-ALCOTRA Project “ACLIMO” - Drops of Change: eight experiences of sustainable water management in agriculture and livestock: a series of eight videos that tells some of the numerous experiences of sustainable water management in agriculture and livestock that have emerged in the area thanks to the commitment of operators in dialogue with institutions, and that deserve to be shared and promoted.

On Monday, March 17, the 2025 edition of the SOS Amphibians campaign organized on the Lakes of Avigliana by the Municipality and the Protected Areas of the Cottian Alps came to a close. This edition was innovative compared to previous years.

Sostieni la Tutela dell'Ambiente, la Ricerca Scientifica e i Progetti Didattici dei Parchi Alpi Cozie donando il tuo 5x1000 all'Ente di gestione delle aree protette delle Alpi Cozie.

The evening is called Drops of Change, like the title of the videos produced by the Interreg project Aclimo on the subject of water resource management in the Protected Areas of the Western Alps. The appointment is on Friday, March 21 at 9 PM at the municipal cinema of Condove (TO) in Piazza Martiri della Libertà, 13 for the first public screening of the films, organized thanks to the collaboration of the Protected Areas of Alpi Cozie with the Valsusa Filmfest on the occasion of the World Water Day. A conference featuring images and words with Luca Giunti, park ranger, Elena Valsania, director, Bruno Usseglio, park ranger and filmmaker, and Alba Meirone, head of the technical area of the Park Authority.

In the Natural Park of the Lakes of Avigliana, the spring blooms have begun. Along the hilly trails and around the Small Lake, the park rangers have identified (and photographed) some beautiful specimens of wild squill (Scilla bifolia), dog’s tooth violet (Erythronium dens-canis), and wood anemone (Anemonoides nemorosa).

The information sheet Avvoltoi Piemonte n.9 is online with reports and observations related to the second half of 2024. Happy reading!

Grazie al lavoro congiunto dell’Ente di gestione delle aree protette delle Alpi Cozie e del Comune di Bussoleno per reperire gli assensi dei proprietari privati, si è avviata la fase finale di definizione del progetto “Interventi di riqualificazione sentiero da Fontana della Gerpula al Rifugio Amprimo – Comune di Bussoleno”.

Si svolgerà venerdì 7 febbraio il workshop annuale organizzato dalla Rete Ecomusei Piemonte per l’anno 2025 sul tema: Ecomusei e spettacolo dal vivo. presso Ecomuseo del Freidano, via Ariosto, 36 Bis - Settimo Torinese. L’evento sarà inoltre trasmesso in diretta sul canale YouTube della Rete Ecomusei Piemonte @ReteEcomuseiPiemonte.

Nell'area di particolare pregio naturalistico del Parco naturale val Troncea è vietato effettuare qualunque attività alpinistica su roccia e ghiaccio, sci-alpinistica e di sci fuoripista.

On the Piemonte Region website, the Fact sheets on poisonous plant species created as part of the project "Accidental poisonings from toxic plants in domestic animals"

Among the protected species within protected areas, one must not forget homo sapiens. This column, which usually discusses the limitations imposed on human activities to preserve the environment, takes a diversion dedicated to an obligation introduced for safety reasons in avalanche danger situations: that of carrying an Artva, shovel, and probe on snowy terrain throughout the Italian mountainous territory, not just in the parks.

On Saturday, December 3, 2024, an interesting report was broadcasted on Geo about the Orsiera Rocciavré Natural Park. The popular RAI program dedicated to the environment and its wonders narrated the story of a herb - thyme - and its multiple culinary and medicinal properties with its usual expertise, spiced up with spectacular shots inside the Protected Areas of the Cozie Alps. A real source of pride for a Park Authority that is responsible for safeguarding and enhancing the natural heritage of its territories.

Winter is the most challenging season for many species living in the mountains. Winter hiking and ski mountaineering activities can disrupt - sometimes threaten - the delicate ecological balance of an environment already strained by natural elements.

Located in western Piedmont on the border with France, the Chisone, Germanasca, and Pellice valleys are studied in this volume from the perspective of communication routes and the mobility of people, goods, and ideas.

They do not hunt in the parks.

In Piedmont, Regional Law no. 19/2009, article 8 states that "In protected areas established and classified as a natural park and nature reserve, the following prohibitions apply: a) hunting activities; b) introduction and use of weapons, explosives, and any destructive or capture means by individuals, unless nominatively authorized."

The best weapon against livestock poisonings comes from the precise knowledge of plants and early detection. A project involving ASL TO3, Ipla, the Experimental Zooprophylactic Institute of Piedmont, Liguria, and Valle d'Aosta, and the Parco Alpi Cozie with the aim of developing a new diagnostic test methodology to identify toxic plants.

Reasons for a prohibition

In Piedmont, mushroom picking is regulated by Regional Law no. 24/2007, which, in summary, allows harvesting from dawn to dusk of a daily individual quantity not exceeding 3 kg for all those who are equipped with the appropriate permit. Geographical limitations apply within protected areas established in accordance with the current regional regulations and sites that are part of the Natura 2000 network identified by the respective managing bodies.

In the Protected Areas of the Cozie Alps, as in the entire Piedmont region, circulation with motor vehicles on off-road routes is forbidden according to Regional Law No. 32/1982. The ban, as stated, "also applies to mountain paths and mule tracks, as well as forest tracks and roads." This is Article 11 inserted, not by chance, in the text entitled "Rules for the conservation of the natural heritage and environmental structure" because undoubtedly vehicular traffic has an impact on ecological balances. But what is meant by "off-road routes"? Essentially, everything that is not part of the state, regional, provincial, or municipal road network.

Throughout the summer, park rangers have intervened on several occasions to warn mountain bikers who were riding on routes and trails within the Alpi Cozie Parks that are prohibited to bicycles. Some individuals justified their actions by claiming they had followed directions downloaded from certain websites or apps, but unfortunately, the regulations of a protected area do not allow ignorance of the rules. We take this opportunity, therefore, to reiterate the restrictions in place in the Protected Areas of the Alpi Cozie and explain the reasons behind them.
 

The end of summer is approaching, and with it comes the mushroom picking season that attracts many enthusiasts every year.

In the Protected Areas of the Cozie Alps and in the sites of the Natura 2000 network managed by the Park Authority, mushroom picking is regulated by National Law 352/1993 and Regional Law 24/2007, i.e., it is allowed for all holders of a permit, except for the following specific limitations:

Spending a day outdoors with your dog is certainly a beautiful experience. However, introducing a pet into a protected area poses a problem for the natural balance that a Park Authority is required to defend. In all Italian national and regional parks, there are limitations aimed at finding a compromise between the needs of environmental conservation and those of dog owners who wish to bring their four-legged friends along. Let's see why.

There are still many people who love coming home after a walk in the open air with a small bouquet of flowers. There is even a song! But... There are rules to follow.

After 5 intense years of work in the field and coordination of activities and actions, the final conference of LIFE WolfAlps EU, organized in Trento from May 17 to 19, marked the milestone of a project that since 2019 has been able to disseminate a wealth of scientific knowledge and informative tools on the coexistence between human activities and wolves in the Alps.

An extraordinary sighting of specimens of the Northern Bald Ibis (Geronticus eremita) in the meadows between Avigliana and Borgone. These migratory birds are threatened with extinction and an international reintroduction project teaches young specimens the essential migration routes with the help of human adoptive parents flying on motorized hang gliders.

Within protected areas, certain human activities must adhere to environmental protection principles. Among these is the use of drones, which is permitted only for professional, monitoring, and scientific research purposes. The use of remotely piloted aircraft for these purposes in natural parks, nature reserves, and Natura 2000 sites managed by the Cozie Alps Protected Areas is subject to a specific request and impact assessment.

In the Parks of the Cozie Alps, it is not allowed to capture, kill or harm any animal, not even the smallest or unknown ones. In this article, we want to focus on so-called cold-blooded animals, and in particular on amphibians that are more visible during the spring season as they migrate towards wetlands where they reproduce by laying eggs in water.In the Cozie Alps Parks, it is not allowed to capture, kill, or harm any animals, not even the smallest or unknown ones. In this article, we want to focus on so-called cold-blooded animals, and in particular on amphibians that are more visible during the spring migration towards the wetlands where they reproduce by depositing their eggs in water.

Descrizione progetto Hotel Dieu: completamento degli spazi turistici espositivi ecomuseali (pianto interrato, terra e rialzato)

The Conca Cialancia grasshopper, discovered in 1986, is a rare endemic species of the Cottian Alps. It lives only at high altitudes, above 2000 meters, in meadows on sunny slopes. It has bright colors: gray-blue and red in males, camouflaged in females. The stridulating song of the males attracts the females. A truly special insect!

The Swiss pine is the only native pine with needles grouped in bundles of 5 and produces cylindrical cones, purple in color, containing seeds wrapped in a hard shell (pine nuts)

Larch (Larix decidua) is a hardy conifer with deciduous needles that thrives in harsh alpine climates. It grows on poor soils and pioneers the way for more complex forests.

The Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) is a conifer that shows a high ability to adapt to the environment: it lives from the valley floor up to 2000 meters above sea level.

In the territories where today the Parks of the Cottian Alps are located, and in general throughout the entire Alpine arc, the wolf became extinct between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century due to human hunting activity. Starting from the 1970s, from a small nucleus of wolves of the subspecies Canis lupus italicus present in the Apennines of Central Italy (between 100 and 200 individuals), a process of numerical growth and spontaneous recolonization began, leading the species to spread throughout the entire peninsula.

The Apollo butterfly is a large diurnal butterfly with a wingspan that can exceed 5 cm. The wings are mainly white with black spots in the front area, while the hind wings have two or more red spots bordered in black with a white pupil.

The black grouse, also commonly known as the capercaillie (Lyrurus tetrix), is one of the species that make up the typical alpine fauna. The adult male has black plumage with metallic blue highlights, white-edged wings, a deeply forked "lyre-shaped" tail, and red wattles above the eyes, which become particularly prominent in spring. The female, smaller and with brown-mimetic plumage, blends in with the surrounding environment and is less conspicuous.

It is a perennial herbaceous plant 20-40 cm tall. It has an underground stem and a leafless one that emerges from the ground. The leaves are heart-shaped with lobes and denticles. The flowers are hermaphroditic and grouped in an umbel. The fruit is a capsule with 30-40 seeds.

La scarpetta di Venere è una delle orchidee più affascinanti e riconoscibili della flora europea. Il suo grande fiore giallo dorato, rappresentato dall’elemento centrale definito “labello” e racchiuso in sepali e petali bruno-violacei, ricorda una piccola scarpa, da cui deriva il nome. È una pianta erbacea perenne appartenente alla famiglia delle Orchidaceae, alta fino a 40–60 cm, che fiorisce tra maggio e giugno. La sua fioritura vistosa ne provoca una raccolta eccessiva che, unita alla diminuzione dei suoi habitat a causa della crisi climatica, la rende una specie sempre più vulnerabile. 

The ermine (Mustela erminea) is an agile and sprightly mustelid, widespread across much of Eurasia and North America. It is also found in the Alps, where it prefers open mountainous environments rich in natural burrows, pastures, high-altitude meadows, and areas with scattered bushes. It is a small-sized carnivore: the body measures between 17 and 33 centimeters, the tail between 5 and 12 centimeters, with a weight that varies from 100 to 450 grams. Males are significantly larger than females.

The Eurasian eagle-owl is the largest nocturnal bird of prey in Europe and one of the most majestic birds in our mountains. Its wingspan can reach and exceed 180 centimeters, while its weight typically ranges from 2 to 3.5 kilograms, with females being sturdier than males. It is unmistakable for its large bright orange eyes and the tufts of feathers on its head, which resemble ears and are raised particularly when it is alert.

The river prawn (Austropotamobius pallipes complex) is one of the most discreet and valuable inhabitants of our waterways. Brown-olive in color, with the underside of the claws lighter, hence the Latin name pallipes ("light feet"), it has a distinctive appearance: a robust, segmented body, two large front claws, and an abdomen that ends with a wide caudal fan, which allows for rapid backward movements in case of escape. Adults typically reach a length of 8–12 centimeters and move carefully along the gravelly and rocky bottoms of streams.

Maestosa e inconfondibile, l’aquila reale è il più grande rapace presente stabilmente sulle Alpi e uno dei simboli più evocativi degli ambienti montani. Diffusa in gran parte dell’emisfero settentrionale, in Italia trova il suo principale areale lungo tutta la catena alpina. 

The European Beech (Fagus sylvatica) is a deciduous broadleaf tree that can reach considerable sizes; its bark is grey, smooth, and compact; the leaves are elliptical, with a crenate margin and a characteristic shiny appearance.

Genepì is a small plant that grows on scree and rocky areas at altitudes above 2300 meters, but it is also cultivated in the mountains on suitable terrains and positions, for the production of herbal teas and liquors.

Tra gli insetti più spettacolari dei boschi europei, il cervo volante è una presenza capace di sorprendere anche chi non ha particolare familiarità con il mondo degli invertebrati. I maschi, dotati di sproporzionate mandibole che ricordano i palchi del cervo, possono raggiungere dimensioni notevoli per un insetto, rendendo questa specie uno dei coleotteri più grandi d’Europa. Nonostante l’aspetto imponente, si tratta di un animale innocuo, strettamente legato ai boschi maturi e alla presenza di legno morto, elemento fondamentale per la biodiversità forestale.

Simbolo per eccellenza dell’alta montagna europea, la stella alpina è una delle piante più iconiche delle Alpi, capace di evocare ambienti severi, panorami aperti e condizioni climatiche estreme. Il suo aspetto inconfondibile, con infiorescenze bianco-argentee dalla tipica forma stellata, è il risultato di adattamenti evolutivi raffinati che le consentono di vivere in alta quota, spesso al limite superiore della vegetazione.

The Lanza Salamander is a rare amphibian endemic to the Cottian Alps, found only in a few valleys between Italy and France

In the Park, in the coniferous forests, there are large nests of red wood ants of the Formica rufa group, useful for biological control. There are 4 similar species with complex social lives. The workers perform various tasks, the queens lay eggs, and the males mate with the queens during the nuptial flight. The nests can be large and accommodate up to 1 million ants.

The marmot is a diurnal rodent that lives in alpine meadows. It feeds on plants and insects, digs complex burrows, and hibernates from October to April. The young are born after 30-35 days of gestation and remain in the burrow for 40 days. The main predators are the golden eagle and terrestrial carnivores.

The ibex is a large wild goat. Very confident with humans, it inhabits the entire Alpine arc.

The rock partridge (Lagopus muta) is an alpine bird the size of a pigeon that lives at high altitudes, above trees and shrubs. Up there, at the border between high-altitude meadows and rocky areas, generally between 1800 and 2700 meters, going up beyond 3000 meters in summer and autumn.

Green alder (Alnus viridis) forms dense thickets (alder groves) in the water catchment areas and on the slopes where the water table is shallow and the soil is very moist, often with water seepage and surface runoff.

Wild narcissus dots alpine meadows with its tufts of highly fragrant flowers featuring white petals and yellow corona.

For years a population of rock sparrow has been nesting in the mowed and grazed meadows of the upper Susa Valley, in two Sites of the Natura 2000 network managed by the Parks of the Cottian Alps. It has colonized an area of ​​about 13 square kilometers on the south-southwest slope in the municipalities of Sestriere and Cesana Torinese, between 1350 and 2000 meters above sea level. The territory is characterized by xeric pastures and mountain meadows that in recent decades have seen a drastic decrease in traditional agro-pastoral practices, with the consequent risk of invasion by shrubs and trees and loss of the high degree of plant and animal biodiversity linked to mowed and grazed meadows.

It can reach 2.90 m wingspan and weigh 7 kg. These characteristics make it the largest bird in the Alpine region. Moreover, it is the only species among vultures capable of feeding on bones thanks to some morphological and behavioral adaptations. Its body structure places it in an intermediate position between a raptor and a vulture, after all, its name derives from the Greek terms gyps (vulture) and aetos (eagle).

The chamois frequents high-altitude meadows, but can also be observed on rocky walls and within woods, ranging from the valley floor up to about 3500 meters in altitude.

l Carabus cychroides is an endemic beetle found in a few very limited areas of the Cozie Alps, mostly within our protected areas.
It is an insect that is strongly threatened by climate change. It lives in cavities in high-altitude pastures and in moraine areas facing north, where the snow remains longer.

Chorthippus (Glyptobothrus) pullus (Philippi, 1830) is a rare insect belonging to the order Orthoptera, heavily threatened with extinction in Italy and Europe due to the destruction of natural habitats, consisting of wide riverbeds characterized by flow dynamics that are not altered by humans.

Quali sono i cambiamenti sul territorio del Gran Bosco di Salbertrand dopo quasi trent'anni di protezione? Come stanno gli animali del Parco? Chi sono?
Gli autori entrano nei particolari della gestione faunistica del cervo reintrodotto vent'anni prima dell'istituzione del Parco. Il ripopolamento è stato un successo e i bramiti rimbalzano tra le creste nella stagione degli amori.
Nel momento del libro era accertato che i lupi erano tornati sulle piste del Gran Bosco e gli interrogativi su cosa avrebbero portato erano densi di aspettativa.
Soggetti e forze in campo cambiano con il tempo, il Gran Bosco risponde.

Cahier ecomuseo n.17 - Il lavoro del mondo contadino nella prima metà del Novecento visto attraverso gli occhi dei bambini di allora.

Il cahier presenta la società contadina, il suo ambiente e i mestieri tradizionali visti dagli occhi di alcuni bambini vissuti nella prima metà del Novecento e trascritti nei loro quaderni di scuola.

L'Ecomuseo Colombano Romean ha raccolto, nella sezione dedicata alla Scuola di un tempo, grazie ad acquisizioni, prestiti e donazioni di privati, un'importante collezione di quaderni di scuola di bambini provenienti da vari paesi dell'alta Valle, scritti tra la fine dell'Ottocento e gli Anni Quaranta del Novecento.

Attraverso una selezione di temi, componimenti e disegni tratti dai quaderni di inizio secolo, si è voluto cercare di restituire ai bambini di oggi il paesaggio, naturale e sociale, vissuto dai loro nonni, quando anch'essi erano fanciulli, all'interno di una società contadina di cui non rimangono che i ricordi.

Una collezione di cartoline d'epoca e una collezione di scritti d'epoca si arricchiscono a vicenda raccontando il territorio di Usseaux, Pragelato e Sestriere. L'unicità dei luoghi rappresentati svela grazie a notizie d'archivio, leggende e testimonianze.

Profilo della biologia degli ungulati alpini autoctoni cominciando dalla storia naturale di ognuno di loro, dandone una descrizione morfologica ed etologica e indicando i principi di conservazione di ogni specie.

Oreste Rey descrive le tecniche tradizionali dalla coltivazione al filo di canapa sulla sua esperienza, comune in molte famiglie come attività secondaria ai lavori di campagna. La tessitura era attività di professionisti per le attrezzature specializzate e ingombranti che richiedeva. Bruno Tessa ha contribuito alla descrizione di questa tecnica in cui si è specializzato con passione e perizia rari.

The 1992 calendar is dedicated to six itineraries that wind through the valleys of the Orsiera-Rocciavré Park.

L'epoca è quella in cui il progresso delle città e lo spopolamento delle aree alpine sembrano cambiare il mondo. Lo sguardo è quello di un grande larice su battaglie e invenzioni degli umani passati sotto le sue chiome e sulle vicende degli abitanti della foresta che si inseguono o trovano riparo e nutrimento tra i suoi rami. La memoria diventa ingrediente del futuro.

Con lo spostamento del confine sulla linea spartiacque cambia il modo di combattere sulla frontiera: le montagne che erano il luogo dove deteriorare e rallentare le forze di invasione diventano una linea immaginata sulla carta e segnata sul territorio reale che non deve essere oltrepassata a nessun costo. 
Storie di piedi gelati, maestranze capaci di costruire in condizioni proibitive, spie catturate e cavalli che precipitano nei burroni sono la conseguenza di decreti e manovre raccolti nella prima parte del libro con un criterio cronologico dall'ideazione allo smantellamento. La seconda parte è la ricerca dei segni lasciati sul territorio dalle singole opere approfondite singolarmente.

The 1998 calendar showcases some professions, along with their equipment, that take place within the Orsiera Rocciavré Natural Park.

The 2008 calendar of the Orsiera Rocciavré Natural Park and the Reserves of the Orridi di Chianocco and Foresto invites us to learn about habitats and observe wildlife.

Un sentiero segnato tra i suoni e gli strumenti della tradizione occitana.
Dalle nostre valli ai Pirenei, una lunga via tra le musiche di tutte le comunità che vivono nella terra d'Oc.
Le musiche che hanno accompagnato i diversi momenti della vita della nostra gente dal lavoro alla festa.
Un viaggio che parte da lontano, eredità di una cultura antica che ha le sue radici nella notte dei tempi.
Un viaggio che prosegue ai giorni nostri, ben lontano da essere vissuto e pensato come qualcosa di compiuto: non una esposizione archeologica su un passato da rimpiangere, non uno sguardo sull'epoca dell'oro da mitizzare, ma uno strumento di conoscenza e di coscienza della ricchezza culturale che ci aiuta a vivere il nostro presente.
