Natural Parks Activities
As autumn arrives in Trentino's natural parks, the echoes of deer calls signal the start of the mating season. The powerful, mysterious and unforgettable roar of the stag resonates through valleys and forests, serving to attract females and warn rivals. When these calls are insufficient, duels for dominance ensue, with antlers locked in fierce clashes.
Guided excursions, held at dawn or after sunset, allow visitors to listen and - with luck - witness these moments without disturbing the animals. Experts use thermal imaging cameras to observe deer and other wildlife moving in the dark.
