Val Grande - National Park

An area extending between the Vigezzo Valley, the Cannobina Valley and the Alto Verbano, the Val Grande represents the largest wilderness area in Europe. It became a park in 1992. Wild and uncontaminated the Val Grande conserves its natural appearance alternating between woods, alpine lakes and solitary peaks. Though this area was abandoned by man we can still see signs that it was inhabited in the past.
