Adjacent to the Gran Paradiso national Park, the Mont Avic Park is one of great natural richness,the first regional national park of the Valle d'Aosta. The protected area includes part of the territory of the Champdepraz and Champorcher municipalities. Through time, the area has managed to preserve its environmental characteristics of great beauty, also due to the coarseness of the land which limits the agro-pastoral activities and renders it less accessible to touristic masses. It therefore constitutes a still-intact corner of nature, which has preserved a fauna and flora rich of species unfound elsewhere. The extended forests of Mountain Pines, Scots Pins, Larch and Beech trees alternate with high-altitude glacial lakes, alpine meadows, marshes and peat-bogs. The many wetlands, the surfacing of calcareous schists and the abundance of ophiolites - a very particular geological substrate - produce a varied and extremely interesting flora. Together with typical alpine mammal species, such as steinbocks, chamois and marmots, the fauna is characterized by over 90 species of nesting birds, 1.100 species of butterflies and 120 species of forest Coleoptera. An excursion to the Mont Avic Park is truly a full immersion in nature.

Easy trails: routes that present no major technical difficulties or too challenging slopes. They can be covered in full or in small sections, allowing in both cases to come into contact with unspoilt nature, discovering its pace and balance …
Medium difficult trails: routes that can be covered in a day, varying considerably in terms of height differences and technical difficulty; the benefit is in being able to reach wildlife destinations of great impact.
Long trails: excursions lasting several days which provide for stopover places and catering along the route.
