Park Celebration

From 19 to 23 August 2026, the Park will enliven the town of Bormio with a series of activities that tell the story of life in the protected area and its inhabitants. This event will offer the local community a new perspective for exploring the wonderful territory, rich in natural and cultural beauty, through experiences ranging from the lives of researchers to their discoveries, and through curiosities and anecdotes about the natural environment of these mountains.

Parco in Festa is an invitation to discover the world of the Park, rich in natural and cultural beauty, through the experiences and voices of researchers and the community.

Most of the activities are free.
Admission is free, except for some activities that require registration.
