Located between the valleys of Tarentaise and Maurienne, Vanoise is the first French national park. It is also one of the most popular national parks in France. It was created out of a concern towards the disappearing Ibex whose number came down to 40 in 1963 but has now been restored to more than 2000. The park extends on to the Italian side of the border where it is called the Gran Paradiso National Park. The presence of Vanoise Massif makes it a paradise for hikes as well as for guided walks. One can also enjoy mountain biking and paragliding here.<\/p>\n
