The Giardino Alpino Paradisia or Jardin alpin Paradisia (French), is an alpine nature preserve and botanical garden located at 1700 meters altitude in the Gran Paradiso National Park at Valnontey, Cogne, Aosta Valley, Italy. It is open daily in the warmer months. The garden was founded in 1955, and named for Paradisea liliastrum (St. Bruno's Lily). It is primarily a nature preserve but also contains man-made reconstructions of nearby mountain environments, including wetlands, moraines, and limestone debris. The garden currently contains about 1,000 species of plants native to the Alps and Apennines, as well as specimens from other mountains in Europe, Asia, and America.

Valnontey is a beautiful valley both in summer for trekking and in winter for cross-country skiing

Magnificent botanical garden to visit absolutely.
The full ticket is 3 euros per person which is amply repaid by the beauty of the over 1000 species of alpine and non-alpine plants and herbs that the garden houses.
