Marguareis Park and the Roccarina area

Passing Chiusa di Pesio and its remarkable Charterhouse complex, you come to Marguareis Park, on the border between the French and Ligurian Alps. The largest and most famous alpine karst area in Piedmont, Marguareis Park is dominated by a spectacular plateau, its green meadows rising to an altitude of 2,000 metres. Further down, fir and beech forests create breathtaking scenery that inspires deep breaths and regeneration.

Immersed in this abundance of nature up in the high mountains, softly rolling hills alternate with steep drops and lunar rocks. Marguareis park and the entire Roccarina area are a botanical paradise and animal kingdom of excellence, with roe deer, chamois and wolves in the starring roles. The alpine botanical stations and the garden of wild herbs in the heart of the Park preserve many of the most significant valuable plant varieties to be found in the area between the Ligurian and Maritime Alps.
