Established with the approval of the General Meeting of Regolieri, management of the Park has been entrusted by the Region to the Comunanza delle Regole d’Ampezzo “by virtue of the specificity of the ancient forms of management of the Ampezzo natural heritage, by them preserved and protected for hundreds of years”. The establishment of the park has considerably boosted cultural and scientific activities, as well as helped enhance the Ampezzo countryside and culture.
The protected area is shaped like a wedge, with two side branches, and borders, to the north, on the South Tyrol park of Fanes, Senes and Braies. Land use in the Park is fairly uniform, as there are no human settlements and ski-ing facilities.
This has made it easier to split the area into different zones, some dedicated to woodlands and pastures - including alpine pastures and woods under normal forestry control - and others set aside as nature reserves; the latter are located in the best and less-spoilt parts of the park and include 9 full reserves and 11 oriented reserves. These cover 25% of the protected area. The Park has been recognised by the European Community as a community heritage site.
Various differentiated access roads exist at the disposal of visitors - from the main roads leading to the Falzarego, Cimabanche and Tre Croci passes, dozens of forest trails and paths depart, creating a network 300 kilometres long. Among the tourist routes are 8 metalled roads and 6 equipped trails, some of which are what remains of the mountain roads used during the Great War.

There are 11 alpine huts in the Park and in the vicinity; on the Lagazuoi, Tofana and Cristallo massifs cableways operate throughout the summer months as well, reaching fairly high altitudes, while along the access road to Malga ra Stua, in the Croda Rossa group, a public shuttle service is available.
