During the rutting deer, enjoy the best photography hide of Europe for lammergeyer. You’ll be alone in an isolated cottage of a deserted village.

Come and enjoy the great show of the rutting deer. It is early autumn when adult male deer display their best finery. Then, their antlers are ready for the fight; the excitement is at its peak and they do their best to defend their harem of does. Our trip combines this impressive show with watching bearded vultures, griffon vultures and black vultures. You will be comfortably accommodated in an isolated cottage in the mountains and surrounded by nature to enjoy a unique experience.

This wildlife trip will take you to enjoy the rutting bucks with a quiet and privileged environment. Through especial carrion we will enjoy watching lammergeyer and vultures. We will not forget to taste the local cuisine.

This tour will be appreciated by those nature lovers and particularly those fauna lovers. We will take pleasure in watching the rutting deer with all the amenities (we provide you with spyglasses with digiscoping adapters for your cameras) and we will make a carrion in order to observe necrophagous birds such as lammergeyer (bearded vultures) in all ages and all plumages (we can spot more than 15 at a time), black vultures (more than half of the population of the Pyrenees come to this place) and griffon vultures (countless).
