Overview

Belpark is a specialized wildlife sanctuary located in the Brenta Dolomites focused on preserving the biodiversity of the Alpine region. The park features large, semi-natural enclosures designed to house brown bears, wolves, lynxes, and eagle owls. It serves as a regional educational hub for wildlife conservation and observation in their natural habitat. The enclosures are integrated into the existing forest landscape of Spormaggiore to minimize animal stress. Visitors observe animals from designated paths and viewing platforms built to offer safe, non-intrusive sightlines. The facility functions as both a tourist destination and a research-based center for the study of local fauna.

Insider tips

Bring binoculars as the enclosure sizes are large and animals often stay in distant, shaded areas.

Wear hiking-appropriate footwear to navigate the sloped, gravel-based paths connecting the enclosures.

Plan your visit to coincide with feeding times if you wish to see the more elusive predators active.

What to avoid

Do not visit during the heat of midday in summer, as animals are likely to hide in dense foliage to stay cool.

Good to know

Open seasonally from spring through autumn; closed during winter months.

Etiquette

Maintain silence near enclosures to avoid distressing the animals; do not attempt to feed the wildlife.
