National Park of the Gran Paradiso The National Park of the Gran Paradiso Institute and since 1922 the National Park of Gran Paradiso, extends throughout the valleys of Cogne, Rhêmes and Valsavarenche and also includes the massif of the same name. This was the first park of its kind to be created in Italy and has been a prototype of all European reserves. Along the 450 km of tracks, which lead to 11 Alpine mountain refuges, you can find the noblest species of Alpine fauna and flora: stars, Alpine rhododendrons, marmots, chamois, golden eagles, ibex. |

Mont Avic Regional Park The Mont Avic Regional Park covers over 3000 hectares of the high valley of Champdepraz .

Also part of this park is a beech forest populated by pheasants and stoats and the only forest of black pines in the region: nature at its purest! |
