Parco Naturale Mont Avic

Località Chevrère

11020 Covarey (AO)

Municipality: Champdepraz

Region: Valle d'Aosta

The Visitor Center includes:

• An info point, where you can watch films and photos about the Park and receive detailed information and material about Mont Avic Park and the network of the alpine protected areas;
• A natural history museum describing the rocky environment, the wetlands and the Park forests using interactive systems; visitors are invited to discover the "secret park", that is all those natural elements which usually we do not notice because they are difficult to see or because they need to be approached with great care.
• A multi-purpose hall where visitors can use the ViViAlp virtual flight device and take part in didactic activities, watch videos, follow conferences and temporary exhibitions;
• a Plastic Model on a scale 1:5.000 faithfully reproducing the Park and its surroundings. Specific markers point out the borders of the protected area, the several paths and the main topographic landmarks (summits, hills, lakes, alpine meadows, built-up areas). The forests are represented with their autumn colors, in order to easily identify the pine woods, the larch woods and the beech forests.
