Rank : 7.0 (average on 1 votes)

Coordinates : 44.241352, 7.399348 (Open in Google Maps)

Subjects : Wolves, corvids. In the eight-hectare wildlife area there are two towers from which you can observe seven specimens of wolves (which cannot live in freedom because they are victims of serious accidents or because they were born in captive conditions). The photographic opportunities are limited but still interesting, especially if integrated with the multimedia paths (explained later).

Recommended equipment : The animals sometimes pass very close to the observation towers, but medium-long telephoto lenses (300 to 600mm) are required to get good set shots. Large grassy spaces ensure good light conditions at any time of the day.

Best months : The photos are very suggestive when the wildlife area is covered in snow but good photos are taken throughout the opening period. As always, you have to be patient and stay on the turrets for the necessary time: wolves move continuously (especially in the morning) and therefore can appear at any time. It is very interesting to watch the distribution of food (which does not take place at fixed times so as not to get the animals used to it) and the interaction between the specimens.

How to get there : From Turin, A6 To-Savona motorway: Cuneo Est exit, continue towards Boves/Borgo San Dalmazzo then go up the Gesso Valley to Entracque (134km), following the frequent road signs. The Visitor Center is located in the village, the Wildlife Area can be reached on foot with an easy path (15 minutes) or by car.

Visits : Online ticket (10 euros full, 8 euros reduced) and telephone reservation required. The oasis is open with variable hours and dates from January to October inclusive: Information and reservations 0171 1740052 info@montagnedelmare.it Important: consult the regulations of the structure (pets not allowed) and the detailed opening calendar.

Notes : In an era in which the relationships between wildlife and human activities are often controversial, "Men and Wolves" aims to inform and educate people about the presence of the predator in our territories through two multimedia paths: - the first, at the visitor center, deals with the myths and legends related to the wolf all over the world and in different historical periods; - the second, at the large Wildlife Area, is centered on its biology.
