MAJOR POINTS:

The system of the mule tracks and the royal hunting lodges was built by the will of Vittorio Emanuele II, king of Italy, passionate about hunting and the territory in which the Gran Paradiso National Park will then be established. It was thanks to the limitations on hunting activities imposed by King Vittorio Emanuele II that the Alpine ibex (Capra ibex) was able to save itself from extinction (it had in fact disappeared from the entire Alpine arc). Today the Royal House of Hunting houses an unmanaged but well-equipped hiking refuge: we will reach it with the help of the mule and spend the night there, just like the Savoy kings did with their retinue.
Close encounters with the typical wildlife of the Gran Paradiso National Park (ibex, chamois, eagles, bearded vultures, marmots etc)

7 hills up to 3000 m high, 55 km long, D + = 4141 m and D- = 4504 m, but above all the wild nature of the oldest National Park in Italy.

Starting from Lake Teleccio, in the wild Piantonetto Valley, along the route of the monumental network of the royal mule tracks of Caccia del Gran Paradiso, through snowy passes, ibexes, bearded vultures and chamois, ledges and exposed stretches, stony ground and steep pastures at the foot of the peaks Gran Paradiso (4061 m) and Levanne (3619 m), we will reach the shores of Lake Ceresole Reale.
