Also, breeding Merlo dal collare and Beccaccia. The rarest species are Pigliamosche pettirosso, Picchio dorsobianco , Civetta nana and Civetta capogrosso.

Some of the mammalian highlights of the national park are brown bear (relatively numerous, but rarely seen), chamois (frequent), roe deer (common), wildcat, European pine marten, and Eurasian otter.
