Abruzzo national park tour

Destination

We are located in the National Park of Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise, one of the oldest national parks in Italy, established on 11 January 1923. The park can undoubtedly also be considered among the most interesting at national and European level due to its great biodiversity. Inside the park there are some of the most important European mammals with a prosperous population of wolves but above all for the presence of the Marsican brown bear, symbol of the park and an endemic species of this area. The park also includes an increasingly important population of deer and Apennine chamois. Also interesting is the presence, although rare, of the wild cat. There are over 200 bird species including the golden eagle. The park’s environment is very varied, the ancient beech woods often make room for prairies and open views. The sinuous mountains, typical of the Apennines, often change becoming steep rocky walls. The environment, the fauna, the rural and cultural environment make the National Park of Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise one of the most beautiful and interesting naturalistic destinations in Italy.

Tour information

During this period the Red Deer is in the middle of the breeding season and its mating call echoes in all the valleys of this historical park. A series of bellows and antlers clashing create a magical atmosphere that is fully enjoyable only in these wild Appennine areas.

Not only Deers; in this period the rare Marsican Bear is in hyperphagia and spends its days eating, in view of the winter hibernation. The young Appenninic wolves, born about four months earlier, start to explore their pride land. Wild Boars, Foxes, Roe Deers, and all other park’s mammals, that populate the old-growth beech forests and the huge open areas, are preparing for the winter
season.

These days promise to be very intense and will keep us busy in the field from dawn right through to sunset. We will form a small group of photographers, in order to minimize disturbance and maximize the photographic possibilities. On field we will talk about base and advanced shooting techniques to obtain creative and special images.

After the sunset and in the central hours of the day, we will talk about your shots and we will deepen your knowledge on post-production software, learning new techniques in order to optimize your shots.

Our purpose is to provide the participants with notions of biology and photography, in order to carry out this fantastic passion in the utmost respect of the nature and with the right skills to make perfect shots in any situation.

It will be an intense and engaging experience that will make you rediscover a completely new wildlife photography!
