The Park Alpha is located in the Mercantour Alps, on a highs of 1900m over sea, nearly 2 hours drive from Grasse. The way is curvy and due to the big storm Alex,three years ago, especially the streets in the mountains are damaged and you really could see what water is able to destroy. Arriving at the park we first went to the store and got some nice things to remember this visit. Afterwards we went to the park itself, a little bit higher the street than the store,more in the valley. We had some time to see the surrounding and at 5pm our guided tour, a very well animal things known women and very well english speaking women went with us in the inner park to see the mountain goats first and then to see and feed the iberian wolves. This was amazing and wonderful to be part of it. Can't believe to be so close to a wolve. After this we went over to another side in the park and could see the european wolves pack and our guide told us so many things, answered any question to know about wolves in general as well as special things for this area and the wolves. I would like to say a very big thanks to her for this time to spent with us to get this experience with the wolves. We only could recommend this place to support and see this wonderful animals. We will come back to this beautiful place some...

I took part in a private tour to learn about the wolves and about the job of an animal caretaker. My guide was professional, shared her knowledge in a fun way and showed both passion and expertise for her job. It was interesting to see behind the scenes, to be able to take part in their daily chores and to get to meet the wolves up more close.

The storm had done a lot of damage but things are being rebuilt and still the park is able to offer a powerful experience to anyone who loves wolves and wants to spend a day in beautiful landscapes. In their work they respect and protect the surrounding nature and keep things that are wild as wild as possible. The visitors also get educated about wolves which helps younger generations to understand these animals and perhaps sparks a desire to work for the good of wildlife in future.

Thank you for making my visit memorable. It...

Splendida occasione per ammirare - talvolta da molto vicino - questo magnifico esempio di efficienza della natura, seppure in cattività. Si possono ammirare tre branchi, separati nei tre settori del Parco Alpha, in uno dei quali si muovono veri lupi neri Canadesi. Ad appuntamenti prefissati nella giornata tutti i visitatori possono assistere alla loro nutrizione, in quello che è un momento molto suggestivo, perché dà modo di capire cose importanti sulle abitudini di questi magnifici animali e su quanto indispensabile sia la loro presenza in natura. Personalmente, a meno di una visita con bambini, che richiede un altro tipo di approccio alla giornata e altri obiettivi (importanti, se si riesce a trasmettere loro il significato profondo in natura del lupo e sfatare un bel po' di tragici miti), l'appassionato dovrà spendere almeno una giornata nell'osservazione dei tre branchi, per cogliere al meglio qualche aspetto del loro comportamento sociale (pur se condizionato dall'ambiente di un parco). Ci sono peró momenti in cui non vi sono troppi visitatori e sono proprio quelli i più fertili per l'osservazione (disponibilità dei nostri fratelli lupi permettendo, naturalmente...). Certo il lupo in natura necessita di spazi ben più ampi, di quelli dei tre settori nei quali vivono al Parco Alpha, ma tutto quanto é fatto per far conoscere un animale di per sé così schivo e tormentato da una persecuzione che allunga la propria cupa ombra dai secoli passati fino ai giorni nostri, é ben accetto. Les soigneurs del parco sono sempre all'erta, molto disponibili e pronti a rispondere al turista; proprio per questo immaginerei loro interventi in più occasioni, nel corso della giornata; importante, questo, sia per correggere false credenze sul nostro amico, sia per aprire lo sguardo sul suo mondo, socialmente cosi complesso e affascinante. E, magari, per correggere l'animale meno intelligente (noi), che é bene capisca che il parco è per chi voglia avvicinare e provare a capire qualcosa di piu di un animale così straordinario - potente e fragile allo stesso tempo - e non un luogo per muovere un po' di adrenalina, quasi fosse uno zoo. Per fortuna, nel corso della mia visita del 9 settembre non ho assistito ad alcuna scena antipatica, da parte del pubblico. Vi suggerisco in ogni caso - "ça va sans dire" - di sfruttare i giorni e le ore di minor affollamento, per godere appieno della visita. In ultimo, un desiderio: spero in un ampliamento degli spazi del Parco a disposizione degli amati abitanti dei tre settori, un giorno. Visita da non perdere, in ogni caso: ve...

The 1 hr 20 min journey from Nice was absolutely stunning - with the road passing through gorges and mountain tunnels and cliffs towering high on either side. Our boys (11 and 14) loved it. It was 28 degrees in Nice (mid August) but high up the Alpha Park temperature dropped to a very pleasant 21 degrees. Makes sure you get your tickets at the building next to the very tall outdoor climbing wall. Then walk along the road a little before turning left up a rough Alpine path where you will find a bridge with an automated ticket barrier. At the Park we watched one of the pack of wolves up close through one way glass as they were fed raw chicken. Amazing! And then as we were leaving another pack began howling in unison. Very special. There is a restaurant but we didn't have time to enjoy it as we had to catch a flight home. Wish we could have stayed longer.

We had the chance to visit the park just when it reopened and we were part of the first group of people visiting the wolfs. The whole experience is great, we had a very lovely girl as a guide with a lot of passion for the wolfs and for the entire area. She explained a lot of things and answered all the questions. There's is a small hike to do but it's easy and if you don't have proper shoes for snow you can rent a pair from the starting point for like 3€. Totally loved it and it's totally worth it. The wolfs seemed a bit scared and suspicious after a long period not seeing people but the experience it's a lovely one.
