Descrizione

The beautiful and quiet natural area of Cirque d'Archiane is a haven for many vultures such as Grifone (which nests in the area and is very frequently observed), Capovaccaio, Avvoltoio monaco and even Gipeto. But also other birds of prey like Biancone , Sparviere and Aquila minore. Songbirds are also present like Cincia mora, Regolo, Gracchio alpino, Verzellino and Balestruccio among others.

The clearly marked "Sentier des vautours" (vultures' path) is a circular walk of 5 km that takes you from the small village of Archiane all the way to the end of the circus, where two observation areas have been arranged, with informative signs on vulture breeding cycles and reintroductions. The highest one has a dominant view of the entire cirque, allowing for easy observation of the sky and mountains as well as a stunning view, while a second lower one has a fixed spotting scope pointed towards the specific area of the mountain-face where Grifone are known to nest.
