The Burraia meadows represent one of the most important open ridge areas within the National Park, an important habitat and element of landscape diversification.
The toponym "burraia" refers to the production of butter and milk processing, which was once carried out in the building now used as a refuge and managed by the Ski Club of Stia.

The meadows extend up to the top of Monte Gabrendo, on whose summit a ski lift once no longer in operation.
