A Big Mosaic of Lakes and Mountains

It is the largest Park in Piedmont and one of the largest in Italy. Several summits over 3,000m high, lakes, grasslands, small glaciers, the abundance of Alpine fauna and of botanical species give birth to a unique environmental heritage. Twinned with the French Mercantour National Park since 1987, it preserves an alpine area of 100,000 hectares which was awarded the "European Diploma for the Environment" in 1993.
