Val Grande National Park, National park in Piedmont, Italy.

The park extends across 14,598 hectares of mountains and valleys, from Lake Maggiore basin to the Lepontine Alps in northern Italy.

German troops cleared the population during World War II in June 1944, transforming a previously inhabited area into an untouched natural reserve.

The Candoglio Quarries within the park supplied marble for Milan Cathedral construction, continuing this provision for over six centuries.

Three visitor centers in Santa Maria Maggiore, Cossogno, and Premosello-Chiovenda provide information and guided nature tours from May to October.

The area contains mixed hardwood forests with chestnut trees, black alder, white alder, fir, willows, poplar, Turkey oak, and multiple beech varieties.
