The Gran Paradiso National Park is located between Piemonte and Valle d'Aosta. It is the oldest National Park in the country. The Gran Paradiso peak is the only one over 4.000 metres entirely in Italian territory and five valleys with typical alpine environments, rocks, larch forests and spruces. It was first established in 1922 to protect species that would have otherwise have become extinct especially the ibex, now a major symbol of the park. The park offers several proposals for your stay: sports, excursions, recreational and cultural activities, but it is also dedicated to wellbeing and relaxation, Before you go remember you're visiting a protected area so check the Park Regulations.
