Vanoise National Park (French: Parc national de la Vanoise), is a French national park in the Alps, created in 1963 after mobilization from the environmentalist movement against a touristic project. It was the first French national park. This park is in the département of Savoie. Little villages like Champagny-le-Haut, Champagny-le-Bas, La Chiserette, La Cuaz, Le Bois, Friburge and Séez are near this park.

The park is bordered by several large french ski resorts (Les Trois Vallées, Tignes, Val-d'Isère, La Plagne). On the Italian side of the border, the park is continued by the Gran Paradiso National Park. Together, these two parks cover over 1250 km².

Wildlife

The park is well-known for its population of Alpine ibex (Capra ibex), bouquetins in French.
