Experience an unforgettable thrill in the wild heart of the Abruzzo National Park with an exclusive bear-watching tour on the trail of the Marsican brown bear. Follow an expert wildlife guide through the woods of the Marsicani Mountains, crossing clearings and scenic paths until you reach the observation post on the rocks.

After an in-depth introduction to the bear and its habitat, you will set off on an easy 6 km hike (100 metres of elevation gain, return). Once you reach the safe vantage point, you will be able to spot (if you are lucky) the Marsican bear in its natural environment without disturbing it, with the help of the guide's binoculars. The area is also frequented by deer, foxes, badgers, and sometimes wolves.

Bear-watching expeditions take place from May to October, when the bears are not hibernating. The experience is suitable for everyone aged 6 and over (younger children only if they can remain calm), but dogs cannot be brought for security reasons.

Bring a backpack, trekking shoes, layered clothing, water, snacks and a packed dinner (recommended). It will be an evening immersed in the magic of the Abruzzo wilderness. In case of bad weather, the hike may be rescheduled or cancelled with a full refund.

IMPORTANT: The activity takes place in an area without telephone coverage. Meeting at the Santa Venere Bridge in Pescasseroli, then transport by private car to the start of the trail.
