Giardino Botanico Alpino Paradisia
Aosta Valley
Founded in 1955 within the national park, Paradisia cultivates and labels well over a thousand species of alpine and subalpine flora gathered from across the world's mountain ranges, alongside native Gran Paradiso specialities like the edelweiss and alpine columbine. Its setting in Valnontey, ringed by glaciated peaks, makes even a short stroll feel like a high-altitude tour without the climbing. Researchers use the garden to study how alpine plants respond to a warming climate.
