    Alpe Devero
Alpe Devero is known as the “Flowering Alp” and represents
one of the most picturesque spots in the Alps.
Its diversified natural environment, the variety of rocky
substratum and the presence of extended marshlands
and peatbogs are the main reasons for the wealth
of alpine flora found here which even includes small
carnivorous species. The entrance to the park is at
Baceno.
