Gran Paradiso

Discover the wild Piedmont. The landscape is steep and untamed. It is dominated by magnificent high mountain nature with sharp peak ridges and steep rock faces made of hard gneiss, glaciers, debris fields, and cirque lakes. The royal hunting trails and other historical paths with fantastic views allow hikers to experience a fascinating mountain landscape rich in diverse flora and fauna, while also showcasing impressive evidence of human life in the high mountains, such as extensive alpine areas, well-preserved villages, and religious buildings. Selected osterias serve the exquisite cuisine of Piedmont. The Gran Paradiso National Park is almost equally divided between the autonomous region of Valle d'Aosta and the Piedmont region. While the Aosta Valley part of this national park is well developed, the Piedmont part remains quite remote.
