Mercantour Wolves - guided walking week



An extremely rare sight anywhere in Europe these days, but especially so this side of the Italian border. This magnificent animal had been hunted out of the region prior to the formation of the National Park. This guided walking week offers an opportunity to learn about the Wolves

Gradually, les loups have returned, first seen by a local man in the early 1990s.

Wild wolves live in the Park, albeit in very small numbers, and so one will be very lucky to spot this shy, elusive creature on your guided walking week, but it is possible! Your local guide is passionate about this, his home ground, and the wolves.

Throughout the year with the high peaks are still covered in snow, and the human element very seldom seen we'll combine five fantastic days of guided walking with searching out for signs of wolves activity and of course all the other fauna and flora with which the area abounds.

Alpha – The time of the wolves – Alpha Scénoparc in Le Boréon near St Martin Vésubie opened in 2005 – and gives you the chance to discover more about the myth of the wolves and come face to face with the centre’s semi wild inhabitants.

There have already been two litters of cubs born in Alpha which is testament to their contentment in their new home.
