Description
Gran Paradiso is the highest peak in the Graian Alps. It is a dominant mountain when seen from distant summits, but from the closer valleys, it is hidden behind its surrounding mountains. It is located in the Gran Paradiso National Park in Northwest Italy, which insures its popularity and correspondingly heavy traffic.
