A wonderful place. It is better to have a car to reach the park and to drive around, although buses are available. Our concern was that the park has only one cable car at it would be difficult to take very long and high trekking paths with our 2.5-years-old child (ascends150-200m are fine, but for anything more I had to...

Back to nature in Italy's oldest nature park. Good they keep it touristy free, downside is you have to bring your own food, water bottles and get ready to find a good spot behind a tree when nature calls.. More

You just have a pick the hike you prefer, you will not be disappointed. If you enjoy some "little town" activities before and after, visit it from Cogne, otherwise the other alternatives are quieter. More

I wish we had more time to visit this beautiful park. We only stayed in Aosta Valley for two days without a car, so we were limited on time.

At Cogne you park the car in a big parking along the river, and take an elevator that goes up... More
