The Grand Paradis

Created by the King Victor Emmanuel, the Natural Reserve of the Gran Paradiso was the first of its kind, we came across ibex and chamois in large numbers. From Chamonix, two days in a wild place by the rythm that you skin up; the ascent of Gran Paradiso (4061 m) doesn't presents any technical difficulty.
