Playing and learning area "The Park Game"

Getting to know the Park and enjoying yourselves is a fascinating adventure that, in the Val di Saènt, is tinted with the colours and sounds of nature. Making discoveries and new experiences by using one’s senses is the theme of “The Park Game”, in an area for playing and learning that has been created to give boys and girls an opportunity to experience fully the sensations produced by a contact with nature. The activities in this games area make use of very different materials: iron, air, stone, wood and water that are part of the protected area’s environment and help to describe its territory, plants and animals. How do the players in this game move about? They take on the shapes of the animals that live here, such as red deer, marmot, eagle and… man. The information available on notes and information panels stimulates the children’s fantasy, and they will learn to observe the environment and to find out more about the Park.
The area for playing and learning is located on the very spot where masses of detritus, which was washed down the slope, accumulated after the landslide in September 1999, devastating the Val di Saènt.
