Natural areas
The Fondation Grand Paradis manages and promotes four sites of natural interest within the Aosta Valley section of the Gran Paradiso National Park: the Park’s three visitor centres and the Paradisia Alpine Botanical Garden.
The Paradisia Alpine Botanical Garden, situated in the heart of the Park, is an ideal place to connect with nature and learn about it through workshops and guided activities.
The Park’s Visitor Centres – in Cogne, Valsavarenche and Rhêmes-Notre-Dame respectively – are distinguished by their themed visitor routes, which set them apart from one another. Inside, explanatory models, multimedia displays, interactive games and dioramas complement the recreated habitats and taxidermied animals to engage, stimulate and intrigue visitors of all ages.

Cultural spaces
Fondation Grand Paradis is in charge of the management and promotion of four sites of cultural interest within the Aosta Valley territory of the Gran Paradiso National Park: Introd Castle, Maison Bruil Introd, Maison Pellissier, Maison Jean Paul II and Châtel-Argent.
Centuries-old castles, museums and exhibitions tell the story of great conquests and ancient families, intertwined with the tradition and the architecture typical of the region. A story which is told within the frame of living places, but also through the precious oral accounts of the protagonists, through the tastes of yesteryear and through didactic activities that convey the heritage of the past.
