Valley is euphemistic as it really is one of the country’s coldest and most humid areas. The winter’s snow-covered forested mountainsides change colour in the spring. The age-old dark green forests of conifers and meadows covered by different shades of green create this unique natural environment. Meet the challenge of exploring the wonders of nature, and feel your adrenaline rise. Travel through amazing trails in an unspoilt paradise where gurgling confluent streams meet Arkoudorema, the largest river of the Park, which eventually flows into the bigger River Aoos. These waters are home to the otter, an aquatic mammal, as well as two species of trout. The E6 trail will get you to the Waterfalls. This forest is the habitat of many wild animals – some species are protected by international treaties. There are mammals (wolf, fox, wild hog and mountain antelope), rare bird species (the golden eagle and the black stork) as well as reptiles. The Forest also hosts 415 plant species and 86 mushroom species. During spring, in the highlands of Valia Calda you are likely to spot brown bears ambling down to Arkoudorema (meaning Bear Creek) to drink water while searching for their food. Hike across the woods and be seduced by the beauty of the unspoilt mountainous forested expanses.
