Forest Reserves

A totally new way of experiencing woodland

Where woodland plays the starring role


In the forest reserves, nature has priority over all other human interests linked to the woodland. The reserves are established by the owners of the woods with the support of the Canton of Ticino Forestry Department and protect the woodland as a natural environment, which is left to develop freely.

A precious local resource, full of surprises, to be explored calmly and carefully. For more information, download the map (PDF).

A project for touristic, educational and recreational development of forest reserves, done in collaboration with the Agenzia turistica ticinese SA and the Sezione forestale del Dipartimento del Territorio del Cantone Ticino and realized thanks to the specialized consulting of Silvaforum of Contra.
