Val Grande National Park
Forested wilderness of unpopulated valleys between Lake Maggiore and the Ossola in Piedmont
Val Grande is often described as "the largest wilderness in the Alps", an unpopulated park where forest covers most of the ground. Its two main valleys, Val Grande and Val Pogallo, drain into the Torrente San Bernardino and on to Lake Maggiore.
