Rank : 9.8 (average on 33 votes)

Coordinates : 45.529441,7.294006 (Open in Google Maps)

Subjects : Great variety of flora and fauna. We can find every animal species as the Alpine, such as marmots, deer and red deer, chamois, ibex, an infinite variety of birds ranging from eagles to the great tits and robins in the park, butterflies, and at sunset they come out foxes, lynx and smaller predators, such as stoats, weasels and badgers.

Recommended equipment : Required a 18-55mm or 18-135 to photograph the beautiful landscapes, recommended a nice 70-300mm or 400 fixed to photograph the most of our animal friends.

Best months : There is a specific period, but if I have to choose I think the fall and spring, as many animals are in love in early March, as the capercaillie. In the autumn, however we can hear the echoes of clashes between deer who are fighting to the sound of horns, audible throughout the valley.

How to get there : For the Val d'Aosta side take the motorway A5, exit at Aosta-west and follow the signs to the valleys of Cogne, Valsavarenche and Rhèmes.Per the Piedmont side of the park: From Turin, take the SS 460 in Valle Orco turn right at Pont Canavese to Val Soana or continue until Ceresole Reale - from Ivrea (Milan motorway) follow the SS 565 Castellamonte that is grafted onto the SS 460 in Rivarolo Canavese. IMPORTANT: on the SS460, over the main square of Noasca, there are narrow and winding.

Visits : Free admission, no entrance fees nor periods of opening / closing, only the mountain passes are often closed by snow from December to March.
