Parc animalier de Casteil, Mountain wildlife park in Casteil, France
The park spans 25 hectares at the base of Mont Canigou, featuring a 3.5-kilometer trail that winds through natural habitats of over 300 animals.
The animal sanctuary evolved from a regional wildlife reserve into an educational center that focuses on protecting animals rescued from circuses and private owners.
The park provides multilingual documentation in French, German, English, and Catalan to educate visitors about wildlife conservation and environmental protection.
The facility maintains seasonal hours, with winter visits from 13:00 to 17:30 and summer operations from 09:30 to 19:30, requiring comfortable walking shoes for the terrain.
Visitors can reserve an observation cabin facing the wolf enclosure for overnight stays between May and October, offering direct views of the pack.
