The Deer Rut
il vero canto d'amore di montagna
"Summer is coming to an end," as the song goes, and when the days start getting shorter and the air becomes crisper, it is a sign that autumn has finally arrived. Many people do not like this season because it is a transition from long, warm days to short, cold ones.
However, this season also brings many positive aspects, such as the variety of colours of the plants, which, especially in our beautiful Trentino, have so much to show with their multitude of plant species. Moreover, this is the season when deer enter their mating season and in the evening they sing their love song, like a true mountain choir. This powerful and booming call is used to attract females. When the roar is not enough to win them over, a real battle for dominance begins, and the contenders engage in physical combat, antler against antler, fighting for control.
Come with us to discover the beauty of this timeless ritual of Nature in a wonderful setting such as Stelvio National Park. Thanks to the great experience of the Park Rangers, by venturing into the woods late in the evening or early in the morning, you will be able to get close enough to hear them roaring and see them using a thermal imaging camera.
You can stay in a beautiful mountain chalet among the mountains of Val di Sole and enjoy a wonderful weekend exploring Val di Sole and Stelvio National Park. You will also have the opportunity to go hiking independently if you wish, based on the recommendations we provide, or, depending on your needs, we will be happy to advise you on the best way to spend your time during your stay. A weekend in which to enjoy a truly authentic experience discovering the most unspoilt side of Nature.
