Excellent destination also for macro photography, because there are many varieties of insects and plants (also some rare).

Recommended equipment : Plants and birds, it is recommended by a lens of 300mm, while insects and plants a macro lens. At sunrise and sunset the light is very special, so I recommend a lens suitable for landscape photography.

Best months : The best period is from early spring to late autumn, but in winter it is possible to photograph some animals (especially wild boar, deer and hares).

The main access roads are made from Voltri-Sempione motorway (A26) and Genoa-Milan (A7). Location huts Marcarolo: A7 (Milan-Genoa) exit Novi Ligure (AL), follow to Gavi, Bosio, Mornese.

Visits : Access throughout the year. You can park in the various plazas roadside. (Tip: Sunday and Saturday, picnic areas of the park are very busy, so it will be easier to spot and photograph animals on weekdays).

Notes : There are no suitable facilities for a stakeout photography, but along the many trails that the park offers, it's easy (especially at dawn and dusk) come across in some animals.
