Harmony and contrast.
Living and surviving at the limit of the almost impossible.
The five altitude layers.
The Stelvio-Stilfserjoch National Park is characterised by an
extraordinary community of high mountains' plants and animals,
and by singular influence caused by climate and landscape.
Each of the five altitude layers has a special ecosystem, a rich
world of borders and transitional areas, of harmony and contrast.
The transitional areas characterise the altitude layers, moving from
the spruce (picea abies) forests to small areas of Mugo Pine (Pinus
mugo), from green meadows to rocky landscapes until the rocks
disappear under a layer of ice.
In the other way, ice melts in water, flows through meadows, like a
brook to the valley or a waterfall cascading down from high cliffs.
Among the peaks of Ortles and Gran Zebrù, in a field of stones and
ice, few animals and plants can survive in these harsh conditions…
small heroes in the world of nature.
