Description

Val de la Mare is a small valley between the high peaks of the Stelvio National Park. The valley offers a remarkable variety in terms of habitat and allows several different birding possibilities. The Noce stream flows on the bottom of the valley, here is quite simple to spot Cincle plongeur foraging in its typical habitat. Old and majestic spruce woods grow on the slopes of the valley. This is a really valuable place for the Grand Tétras and the Pic noir. The presence of this woodpecker allows interesting number of specimens of Chouette de Tengmalm. Moreover, in this area Chevêchette d'Europe is also not so rare and with a little bit of luck it can be easily spotted also during the day.

Cassenoix moucheté is probably the most common bird you are going to observe. At a certain point of elevation, the spruce wood makes place for high alpine meadows which offers the possibility in late spring and summer to spot a lot of migratory insectivores such as Rougequeue noir, Tarier des prés, Traquet motteux and Monticole de roche. Further in elevation, the area is really rocky with some snow deposits here and there. Here it is quite common to see Lagopède alpin and the Tichodrome échelette is also present. Up in the sky Chocard à bec jaune often mob Aigle royal. With a little bit of luck you will be able to spot the largest bird of the alps, the Gypaète barbu which is still considered a vagrant species in this particular part of the national park. Other interesting species are Grand Corbeau, Bec-croisé des sapins, Sizerin flammé, Mésange huppée, Bouvreuil pivoine and Tétras lyre.

Accès

The valley is accessible by car following the directions. In order to reach the place there is only one road (paved) that is narrow. In winter the road can be closed due to the snow. The best way to visit this beautiful valley is by foot. There are many tracks and routes and you can hike on the slopes. I suggest to pay the car in the malga Mare dedicated park (in August it can cost up to 5 euros) and then follow the indications for the artificial lake of Caresèr. The circular walk indicated on the map is 13,5 km long.
