Casa Museo del Parco Orso

Trentino & South Tyrol


Part of the larger Parco Faunistico, and with cute displays for kids, this is the place to see the 20-odd population of brown bears of the Parco Naturale Adamello Brenta. Outside the peak July and August season, hours are variable; call or check the website for details. With advance notice, you can book to see the bears in winter dormancy via infrared camera. It's 15km northeast of Molveno.
