Mompantero
Mompantero is a municipality in the Susa Valley, in the Metropolitan City of Turin. On its territory lies the locality known as La Riposa, located a short distance below a municipal mountain hut [1].
The land and the protection of the meadows
In the La Riposa area, motor vehicles are banned from driving or parking on meadows, pastures and unauthorised cultivated land, under regional regulations protecting the Alpine landscape [1].
The Forestry Carabinieri's checks in 2026
Between the end of summer and autumn 2026, the Bussoleno Forestry Carabinieri Unit stepped up surveillance and prevention activity to protect the environmental and landscape heritage of the Susa Valley, focusing its checks on the La Riposa area [1].
Officers caught and fined the owners of several vehicles that had parked directly on the meadows, ignoring the no-parking signs in the area. The administrative fines issued to the identified offenders totalled around €1,000 [1].
Mompantero's municipal administration expressed support for the Bussoleno Forestry Carabinieri Unit's action, stressing the value of the checks not only as an enforcement tool but also as a deterrent and a way of raising civic awareness about preserving the soil and landscape of the Susa Valley [1].
