Parco Nazionale Gran Paradiso

Parco Nazionale Gran Paradiso, Italy’s oldest national park, was once the hunting grounds of the Savoy royal family. Nestled in the Aosta Valley, the park is named after the towering 13,000-foot (4,000-meter) Gran Paradiso mountain. Spanning a vast expanse of Alpine peaks and valleys, the reserve is home to rare wildlife, including the endangered ibex, and features pristine forests and meadows. Visitors can explore the park via scenic trails and mountain roads, immersing themselves in its natural beauty and diverse ecosystems.
