Norme per la raccolta di fiori e frutti del sottobosco

La particolare posizione geografica, a metà tra il mondo prealpino e il centro delle Alpi, la varietà di microclimi e un ambiente alpino ancora poco intaccato, rendono i monti della Valchiavenna un´area molto ricca dal punto di vista naturalistico e botanico.
La sua posizione geografica, più o meno al centro della catena alpina, rende il territorio della Valchiavenna un´ideale area di crescita di specie di una certa rarità.


La raccolta delle piante officinali, di cui il territorio che circonda il Comune di Campodolcino è molto ricco, è consentita previa autorizzazione, fino ad un massimo di cinquanta esemplari per persona per giorno di raccolta. L´elenco delle specie officinali di flora spontanea ...

New arrivals
It’s at this time of year, whenever I have a spare moment that my instinct for photography leads me to go and check out how mother swan’s getting on with her nesting. If I’m lucky I might just get to see her new brood over a couple of days. If that’s the case and her eggs have already hatched I ...

Carden: architectural gems
The architecture of the central Alps has long held a fascination for many. We’re not talking now about the splendid mansions or villas that feature in small northern town or city. We’ve gone all rustic. Styles of rural dwellings can of course differ hugely but in our local valleys there’s a pattern. Up until the ...

Colourful Casenda
Maize was intensively cultivated until the last war, and provided the flour for making polenta - the staple diet for many families in those days. And of course polenta still features – but not three times a day! The fact is that nutrition until the 1950/60’s was very much allied to home produce. Meat didn’t feature ...
The chamois in winter
Curiosity plays a big part in my passion for photographing nature at its purest. And chamois in the snow in the upper reaches of Valle Spluga were a natural attraction. It’s impossible not to be impressed by their capacity to endure even the most hostile of winters. On my regular photo excursions throughout the valley ...
