A FANTASTIC afternoon spent with my wife, with whom I – and we – have finally fulfilled our wish to spend time with these magnificent animals, which are the very embodiment of pure freedom!!! nA HEARTFELT THANK YOU to Javier for the love, passion and respect he has for these animals and for everything he does for them; he immediately put us at ease with his humility and his knowledge of the world of birds of prey. nThank you again, and thank you to Maya and Nix!!!

A truly original and enjoyable experience – engaging and well-organised – and a great way to get to know the world of falconry, even for complete beginners.

I gave this experience to my partner for his birthday. Never was a gift so apt. It was a wonderful morning in all respects: a guide full of passion for these animals who aroused our enthusiasm in approaching the world of birds of prey for the first time; a relaxing walk in the context of the wonderful mountains of the Aosta Valley; last but not least, a snowy owl and a barn owl splendid in their sociability. We enjoyed everything so much that we hope to make a single experience a future passion. Many thanks to our guide and his wonderful raptor friends!

The birds of prey refuge is located in a hamlet of Gignod, a town just above Aosta on the road to the Great St Bernard Pass. Surrounded by majestic mountains, we got to know some nice birds of prey thanks to a presentation by the very knowledgeable Javier, who first told us their story, then let us choose one of them each and took us on a very special walk. Birds of prey each have their own character but are very docile and come to trust their human companion. Pictured are Lancelot and Nyx, a female owl. It was a very pleasant and interesting experience!
