Red Tape

In addition to the Riserva Naturale Integrale delle tre cime (with its rilevant naturalistic aspects) there is one more area: la Torbiera delle Viote (Viote turbary) created after the fullfilling of a morainic lake, its moisty zone is particularly complex for vegetation.
All around it some very fine small prairies, grasslands of Nardo (Nardus stricta), whose hay is used for hay therapy.
