Cogne Aosta Valley

Sant'Orso parish church

Historical records mention that the entire community contributed to building their church in 1202, probably on the same site as the present one.

The church as we see it today is the result of reconstruction and extension works carried out in the first half of the 17th century. 

Parco Nazionale Gran Paradiso

A world to discover. The birth of the Gran Paradiso National Park dates back to the 1922. The Italian State, accepting the donation of the royal hunting reserve by Vittorio Emanuele III, established the national Park, entrusting the administration of these territories to a Royal Commission. The creation of a protected area is strongly linked to the safeguarding of the animal symbol of the Park, the Alpine Ibex, of which, after the WW II, only 416 specimens had survived in the whole world and all of them within the territory of the Park.
