Parks and thematic trails in Pontedilegno-Tonale
Among woods, streams and mountains, you will find parks and thematic trails designed to experience nature in a different way, even with children. At Sozzine Park, you can play amongst the trees, follow the course of the Narcanello, walk through the water on the Kneipp Path and take a break in the relaxation areas. At the Pezzo Wildlife Area, you can get closer to alpine fauna and observe red deer, roe deer, chamois and ibex in their natural habitat. They are two very different places, but they share the opportunity to experience the mountains at a leisurely pace, alternating between moments of play, discovery and relaxation.

A real park with wild animals in Lombardy, where you can get to know alpine fauna up close in its natural habitat.
Inside the Pezzo Wildlife Area, you can observe red deer, roe deer, chamois and ibex in a natural environment of 5 hectares at an altitude of 1,600 metres. This wildlife park in Lombardy is located in the Stelvio Park, along the road leading from Pezzo to Case di Viso. The area is freely accessible via a track that leads past five enclosures, where the ungulates live in extensive areas of woodland and rocky terrain. Along the way, you will also find raised viewing platforms to better observe the animals, as well as panels dedicated to their habits and characteristics.
A nature park in Lombardy for children and families
The Pezzo Wildlife Area is one of the nature parks in Lombardy for children where discovering nature is all about hands-on, fun experiences. Guided tours, hikes in the woods and on the Silter alpine pastures, and activities dedicated to families are organised, accompanied by experts. The little ones can turn into real forest rangers, learn to recognise animal tracks and participate in creative workshops using natural elements. In autumn, there is no shortage of events dedicated to the deer, such as the Apericervo (Aperitivo with the deer), featuring a visit to the Wildlife Area, workshops for children and an aperitif for everyone.
