The Val Grande National Park is situated near Lake Maggiore and it is the widest wild area in Italy. It's 100 kms. from Milan and 150 kms. from Turin. It's a one of a kind and out of this world valley, dominated by silence, where nature is the queen. It is a "sanctuary" that should be visited with absolute respect. The Valley is also history. The long tale of a mountain civilization narrated by the places and people that surround this area among Ossola Valley, Verbano, Val Vigezzo, Valle Intrasca and Cannobina. Those who don't reach the middle of the wild zone and stop in one of the surrounding towns can still have "that sensation of wilderness". In other words, the Val Grande is a valley of great emotions as well as being a Park.
Val Grande, National Park - To protect the environmental integrity of the Val Grande are as always the rocky and harsh mountains that surround it. In 1967 the area of the Pedum rocky mass was assigned as being a Natural Integral Reserve,the first in the Italian Alps. The decision of the creation of the National Park came in the second half of the 80's thanks to the Local Enti and to the intervention of the Piemonte Region and of the Minister of the Environment.
