Nature Reserve: Combe de l'A
The nature reserve of Combe de l'A in the municipality of Liddes forms a vast, diverse space in the middle of the region of the Great Saint Bernhard. This alpine paradise sits at altitudes 1,400 to 3,000 m above sea level. In addition to the extraordinary flora and fauna, the whole family gets to enjoy an ambience in which nature permeates itself as an eternal and timeless way of life. A variety of alpine biotopes at different altitudes provides the basis for the development and survival of many different species of animal.
The Combe de l'A is a habitat for big game such as deer, chamois, roe deer and ibex, but also for smaller mammals such as foxes, badgers and groundhogs, and in the air you can spot golden eagles, hawks and ravens.
For pedestrians, there is also a path through the reserve, where you can explore and observe the animals in the wild without disturbing them. All along the path, you'll find boards that provide you with plenty of information about the geological and botanical characteristics of the region.
