The territory of this park stretches out over an area of 36.950 hectors, between the provinces of Pordenone and Udine. It is circled by the rivers Piave and Tagliamento. The landscape is dominated by the Dolomiti with narrow and long valleys; but one can also find grass fields in the higher altitudes (Campoross) and pasturing at Malga Senons. The harsh and severe surrounding has rendered a minimum anthropic impact and has guaranteed the preservation of an intact nature; on the inner part there are not any good roads or human dwellings thus not encouraging mass tourism but allowed space for mountaineers, walkers and lovers of nature. Interest in this area has only recently grown due to the discovery of dinosaur's footprints. The flora is lush and various; not only is there the typical vegetation of the temperate level but there are also some typical organisms of the area which have been isolated here in remote times, such as the Lady's slipper and Daphne Bagayana, discovered in 1989. The fauna is also very abundant with a great variety; chamois, roe deer, marmot, capercaille, deer and rock goats. Worthwhile mentioning are the kinds of birds such as the eagle: of which we can find a couple breeding in about every valley, sign of the unspoilt nature in the area.
