Paradisia
Inside the Gran Paradiso National Park there is Paradisia, the most important of the botanical gardens of Valle d’Aosta, and the one with the greatest scientific value. Paradisia was founded in 1955 in the valley of Cogne, at an altitude of 1700 meters. It takes its name from the mountain lily, whose scientific name is Paradisea liliastrum.

Blooming since 1897, Chanousia is the precursor of the alpine gardens: it is located at an altitude of 2170 meters, near the Colle del Piccolo San Bernardo, in French territory.
