Full description
Imagine walking through an enchanted forest while witnessing the flight of birds of prey among the branches of the trees. At Foresto di Bussoleno, in Val di Susa, a special falconry experience awaits just for you and your friends or family.
Together with a falconer, you will immerse yourself in the luxuriant nature of theForesto xerothermic oasis: during the 2-hour walk, birds of prey will follow you in flight and can be called to your fist.
Get ready to meet the buzzard Morgana and the other birds of prey that will accompany you on this adventure!
What we will do
The appointment is in Foresto di Bussoleno (TO), at the time chosen during the booking process.
Here you will find the falconer and his 16 birds of prey, which live in a biopark in the Susa Valley, waiting for you. You will get to know the barn owls Mirtilla and Pandora, the owl Pancrazio, the buzzard Morgana, the vulture Caronte and many other inhabitants of the sky, both diurnal and nocturnal.
After the customary introductions, you will leave the park to immerse yourself in the paths of theForesto xerothermal oasis, a unique natural environment where varieties of plants typical of the Mediterranean maquis thrive.
You will walk on a relatively flat path immersed in vegetation for 3-5 km, while birds of prey will follow you in flight, moving from tree to tree. The falconer will show you how to call the animals to the glove, to see them glide from the sky to your fist.
At the end of this exciting walk, you will return to the park after 2 hours of activity.
