About Parco faunistico Le Cornelle

Le Cornelle is a wildlife park at Via Cornelle 16 in Valbrembo, in the province of Bergamo, which describes itself as going beyond the idea of a simple zoo to contribute to the protection of animal species, both endangered and less rare. More than one hundred species live in the park, which presents itself as a centre for the protection of threatened species and is a member of EAZA and UIZA. Themed areas include the Okapi Forest, Pinnawala, the elephant oasis, a reptile house, the Savannah with zebras, rhinos and antelopes, the Tropical Forest, Aldabra Island with its giant tortoises and the Cheetah Oasis. Residents include Humboldt penguins and a Barbary lion from Liberec Zoo, a subspecies extinct in the wild.

By train and bus, travel to Bergamo, then take bus no. 8 to Loreto and bus no. 10 to Valbrembo, getting off at the stop on Via Matteotti; timetables are on atb.bergamo.it. The nearest airport is Milan Bergamo Orio al Serio (BGY), about 15–20 minutes away by car or taxi. The park notes that openings may vary with the weather and suggests contacting its office in that case (infoline 035 527422, [email protected]).
