Parc Alpha: self-guided visit

In Le Boréon, Alpha park offers a chance to discover wolves in a mountain setting in the heart of the Mercantour. Purpose-built hides let you observe their habitat and pack life. This admission is for a self-guided visit, without a guide; guided services are separate. Start at the reception chalet to collect your admission ticket, even if you have bought it online. Bring closed-toe shoes and clothing suitable for the season. The path described by the operator is not accessible to wheelchairs or pushchairs.
