The Big Hiking Tour of Gran Paradiso is the most complete and rewarding way to explore the Aosta Valley side of Italy’s oldest national park. Over six days, this circular trek crosses three of the park’s most beautiful valleys — Valsavarenche, Val di Rhêmes, and Valgrisenche — linking together some of the Alps’ most inspiring scenery.
With its blend of comfortable lodges, traditional shelters, and diverse alpine landscapes, this route offers a perfect mix of challenge, discovery, and relaxation. You’ll experience wild meadows, rocky passes, turquoise lakes, and sweeping glacier views, all within reach of Italy’s most symbolic peak — the Gran Paradiso (4061 m).
Hiking with a local guide brings the region’s natural and cultural stories to life — from ibex legends to mountain traditions that have shaped the Aosta Valley for centuries.
This is Gran Paradiso at its best: six days immersed in beauty, wildlife, and the peaceful rhythm of the high Alps.
