Gran Paradiso National Park

The Gran Paradiso National Park is a protected area in the Graian Alps, between the Aosta Valley and Piedmont regions. It is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, including the Alpine ibex, chamois, marmot, golden eagle, and bearded vulture. The park offers 724 kilometers of marked trails and mule tracks, and its visitor centers provide information on the park's nature and history. The park is also home to several rare flowers, including the Potentilla pensylvanica, Astragalus alopecurus, and Paradisea liliastrum. The Paradisia Alpine botanical garden in Cogne is a must-visit, especially in July when many of its 1,000 species of plants are in full bloom. The park's woods provide shelter for many animals and are an important natural defense against landslides, avalanches, and flooding. The park is a great place for families to visit, with its rich biodiversity and beautiful landscapes
