Alpha - Animal Park

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.

Rare attraction but definitely worth going if you’re an animal lover. I would say more interesting for kids. The park has altogether 6 wolves, due to the river floods in 2020, some animals like the Chamois escaped as we were told. The facility is very secure, the park guides are very informative and answer all questions about the wolves, we got to see them feed the wolves, it was quite interesting.

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.

A nice place to enjoy nature and watch wolves though I did not come at the best time. There was snow on the ground and started melting, so the road was wet, dirty and slippery (I felt twice and luckily I didn't get hurt). Remember to come before the feeding time (twice a day at 11:15 and 15:45) and not to miss the feeding though it lasts a few minutes. The wolves are around before the feeding. Seems they are/have been expanding to include more animals and activities that will make it worthwhile for the long drive up there.

Great location, well organised and friendly service. Beware it is 1500 meters up in the Alps - you need some good clothes and take some food with you... it is pretty much a wild forest so not many options to get your meals bought on location 😉

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 was a pleasure.

Worth the money. The people were friendly. Seemed the wolves are taken care of well. Really good experience.

The wolves look great and if you're in time for the feeding, it's very easy to see them. There is a small hiking area around to complete the day with beautiful sceneries. Recommended for any age, better to do in a nice weather.
