This is the first National Park ever created in Italy, as its birth took place almost 100 years ago, in 1922. The Gran Paradiso national park is located between the Aosta Valley and Piedmont regions. It took its name from the Gran Paradiso mountain, whose altitude reaches 4,061 meters, being the 7th highest mountain in the Graian Alps, the group of Alps that comprehends also the Mont Blanc.In 1922, the main reason why the park was conceived was about the alpine ibex protection, whose survival was threatened by poachers. But today the park is also protecting many other important species, as long as the two main types of woods - the coniferous and the deciduous one. These plants are really important in order to maintain the equilibrium of the area. As their beech leaves take a long time to decompose, stored at their roots they form a thick layer of humus. This layer, covering the woodland floor, prevents other plants and trees to develop.Apart from trees and flowers, during winter and spring, this park hosts more than 100 bird species, including the Eurasian eagle-owl and golden eagles, black woodpeckers and nutcrackers. Butterflies including Apollo's peak whites and southern white Admirals are also included.What are you waiting for?Book now and enjoy the authentic treasure of the Italian biosphere.
