Between the end of September and the beginning of October, Rezzalo valley becomes the perfect setting to witness the bellowing of the red deer, a fascinating and emotionally charged natural event. During the mating season, male red deer make powerful calls to attract females and mark their territory, creating a unique atmosphere in the quiet of the valley.
The excursion, led by a professional guide, starts in the early afternoon from the Fumero parking (subject to a fee, so make sure you get a ticket from the parking meter located before the hamlet, immediately after a tunnel - the cost of the ticket is not included in the excursion price). From the parking lot, follow the dirt road that leads into Rezzalo valley.
During the hike, which lasts about two hours, the guide will share interesting facts and information about the behavior of red deer and their role in the alpine environment. Once you reach the chosen spot, you will wait for dusk, when the red deer are most active and their calls echo most clearly in the valley. A fascinating, immersive experience that respects the animals, to be enjoyed on tiptoe, with eyes and ears wide open.
