Come to the Fougerolles / Saint-Valbert animal park for a breath of fresh air like only the Southern Vosges can offer... A green getaway that does both body and soul a world of good.
Meet the park's residents along a 4km forest trail, play games during your walk thanks to the fun terminals, or take part in a nature tour or workshop led by Philippe, the park's activity leader!
Meet nature and wild animals
Created in 1982, the Fougerolles-Saint-Valbert animal park is the perfect place for a walk in the heart of nature, in an unspoilt environment. The 60-hectare park is criss-crossed by a signposted path with enclosures where you can easily discover 6 species of animal:
- red deer, sika deer and fallow deer,
- ibex and chamois,
- llamas
Allow around 2 hours to make the most of this nature break: with a little patience, you may be lucky enough to spot a wild doe and a female ibex roaming freely around the enclosures.
Keep an eye out in spring! Baby sika deer blend in with the colour of the ground around them... will you be able to spot the newborns?
To find out more about the forest and its inhabitants, there are interactive terminals to enhance your visit.
Our advice: Don't look for the reception desk at the park entrance. You'll find the guide along the way to collect your ticket. He'll be happy to answer all your questions!
Learn more about the forest with our workshops for all the family!
Every year, Philippe, our animator, puts together a program of activities and guided tours for the entire time the park is open, from spring to autumn.
Your children become budding explorers
Keep your eyes peeled for tracks and footprints left by wild animals, get your investigative equipment and observe the small, invisible animals that surround us, and mould the footprints of your favourite animals to make a lovely souvenir!
Night visits: in the intimacy of nocturnal animals
Do you already know the animal park at Fougerolles-Saint-Valbert? But have you ever visited it at night? In summer, Philippe accompanies you on an unusual escapade to awaken your senses and transport you into the world of nocturnal species. In autumn, it's deer bellowing season! Our guide will tell you all about this crucial time of year for deer.
