Italy's National Parks


Italy's Parco Nazionale del Gran Paradiso was the first of all parks to be established in Italy. Located in the Aosta Valley of Piedmont, the park has over 70,000 hectares with an elevation of 800 meters to 4,061 meters. There you will find an abundance of fauna and flora and be dazzled by the grassland and aquatic environments of the park. Other outstanding national parks to visit are Vesuvius in Campania; Maddalena in Sardinia; Casentinesi Forest in Emilia-Romagna, and Sila National Park in Calabria.
