Centro visitatori del Parco Nazionale Gran Paradiso di Cogne

TutelAttiva Laboratorio Parco presents itself as a research laboratory in which to study and understand events, deepen knowledge of the natural environment and analyse the Park Authority's land management choices. The complex and dynamic evolution of the protected area is presented as in an experimental laboratory. The topics covered include: Water, with models showing the effects of water on the territory, illustrating some flooding events and describing the interaction between human settlements and hydrogeological aspects; Forest and Pasture, with a "multimedia" immersion in the life of the woodcutter and the simulation of important choices for maintaining the forest; Fauna and Man, in which the interaction between man and animals can be explored.
The centre also hosts two thematic displays: one dedicated to the wolf and one to the ibex. In these immersive stations, visitors can admire taxidermied specimens and immerse themselves in the story of the characteristics of these species. Visitors can listen to sounds of nature and alpine fauna flowing through... their own bones. In the two brand new osteophony stations, acoustic vibrations are emitted through the body, starting at the elbows, along the arms and hands and ending at the ears of the visitor, who can thus 'hear' the sounds of glacier and avalanche, the howling of the wolf and the bellowing of the deer and many other of the most secret noises of our mountains.
Three Alpine Convention Information Points have been set up at the Visitor Centres of the Cogne, Valsavarenche and Rhêmes Valleys Park.
