Sendero

S9

From the hamlet of Gimillan, a sunny balcony above Cogne, waymark no. 8 climbs the Grauson valley and then the Lussert side-valley to the basin of the three Lussert lakes (over 2,700 m), in the heart of the Gran Paradiso National Park. One of the valley's most spectacular hikes: alpine pastures, peat bogs and glacier-smoothed rock, with excellent chances of spotting ibex, chamois and marmots. Demanding for the ascent but without technical difficulty — ideal for fit hikers on a long day. Dogs are not allowed in the Park.

Ciencias de la Tierra

Geología y paisaje

The Gran Paradiso massif is a crystalline core of the Penninic nappe: augen orthogneisses wrapped in calcschists and greenstones, shaped by the glaciers that feed the valley's lakes and waterfalls.

Historia y cultura

This is the Gran Paradiso National Park, Italy's oldest (1922), born from the royal hunting reserve of Vittorio Emanuele II: here the ibex was saved from extinction and the trails follow the royal mule tracks. Ibex, chamois, marmots and the bearded vulture are frequent sights.
