Merlet Wildlife park
Description
Perched at an altitude of 1500m above the Chamonix valley, the Merlet mountain pasture first amazes with its breathtaking panorama of the Mont-Blanc massif. Merlet then immerses you in its vast animal world, as you enjoy an easy hike through forest and sunny meadows, marked out by its traditional old mountain chalets. The unusual closeness of this area to its many animals is surprising, and almost makes you forget how wild they are...
Species to discover: ibex, sika deer, llama, mouflon, marmot, chamois and fallow deer!
Short mid-mountain hike, 2 to 3 hours' visit.
Numerous benches and deckchairs punctuate the visit. The altiport, a large, flat lawn, is also a great place to lie down.
At any time of year, discover the exhibition rooms and video projections, the souvenir store, the fun and educational stages and the guided tour in 4 languages on your smartphone!
In July and August, depending on the weather and the agenda, free afternoon activities are offered: the mountain and its secrets, wood and horns, predators, "Merlet, what a story!" Fun trail, exhibition room and video projection, entertainment, restaurant and store.
