The Parc national de la Vanoise is a protected area, for the most part on the territory of Haute Maurienne Vanoise, founded in 1963 thanks in particular to Gilbert André, then mayor of Bonneval sur Arc. The central zone, known as the "heart", is a totally protected area with regulations that promote the biodiversity of landscapes, environments and species, and preserve the cultural and mountain heritage.
In a few steps, you are in the heart of the first National Park of France and one of the largest preserved spaces in Europe. Indeed, the Vanoise National Park adjoins the Italian Grand Paradis National Park. Together, they form one of the largest protected areas in the Western Alps. Ibexes and chamois have been able to move from one to the other in peace for decades.
