Alevé visitor centre of the Park Monviso

Located in the centre of the village of Casteldelfino, the Alevé Visitor Centre was set up with the aim of promoting and raising awareness of the natural and environmental features that characterise the nearby Bosco de l’Alevé, the largest Swiss stone pine forest in the Alps.
A single, large, life-size diorama has been constructed in a spacious area, giving visitors the sensation of truly venturing into the forest to discover its wonders amongst the dense pine trees.
Amidst the vegetation, visitors may be surprised to spot the numerous inhabitants of this fascinating environment.
No animals were killed to be included in the collections of this Visitor Centre. The specimens died for a variety of reasons, such as being hit by cars or colliding with power lines or glass windows. We have collected and prepared them as biological documentation and to enable their observation and study, which is a fundamental prerequisite for greater respect towards living specimens.
Opening times: 15 July to 31 August, Monday–Saturday: 2.30 pm–6.30 pm, Sundays and public holidays: 10.00 am–12.00 pm and 2.00 pm–6.30 pm
