The night of the grouses

An opportunity to live together one of the most particular and special spectacles of Nature in the heart of the Gran Paradiso National Park: the period of love of the grouses!. A magic atmophere of sounds and awakenings at the first light of the day. This is the period when the males gather in open spaces at the first light of dawn to face each other and conquer the females.
Their tail opens to lyre, and their wattles turn red.The silent atmsphere of the whole forest is suddenly filled with their chrachteristic sound letting discover a ghost animal, almost impossible to see for the rest of the year.
