In just a few steps, you're in the heart of France's first national park, created in 1963. Together with Italy's Gran Paradiso National Park, they form one of the largest protected areas in the Western Alps.
But never mind the big words. The important thing is to open up a territory of rare experiences. A breathtaking landscape of peaks, lakes and deep valleys.
Incredibly diverse flora and animals in their natural habitat that you can get close to: marmots, ibex, chamois, bearded vultures...
Mountaineering, hiking, fishing at altitude, real moments of mountain wonder to share.
A privileged encounter with nature
The park rangers, who have a wide range of missions within the National Parks, will be holding meetings throughout the summer to introduce you to their work and help you discover the secrets of the environment that surrounds us.
And don't hesitate to get in touch with mountain guides with the "Esprit Parc" label. As well as guiding you safely along snow-covered itineraries, they'll attract your attention, arouse your curiosity and inspire you to find out more about the mountain environment.
This is a good time, for example, to observe marmots coming out of hibernation to enjoy the warmth of the sun.
