Reserved our entry slot the day before for arrival, from 12:30 to 13:30. When reserving your time slot, bear in mind the walk from the parking can take up to half an hour. Paid on arrival, no problem, got given a map in English. Asked about the picnic area to eat lunch, but there isn't really a great place for this, you can't eat in the park area and we had to go back outside with a stamp on our hand for re-entry. There are shaded benches beside the path leading up to the entrance for eating. Inside the park is very nice, the walking trails are actually not that long and you could easily walk the whole area in a couple of hours. We didn't see lots of animals, maybe just the time we went. The views are amazing, definitely the highlight of the visit for me, being able to see Mont Blanc. The inside restaurant seemed OK, but had limited shade and was not great on a hot day if you have a table in the sun, but the Ice creams were lovely for a treat (try the Merlet) and nice views of the mountains. The drive up to the parking is steep, and the walk too, so make sure you have good brakes! The Parc is in French territory, so entry payment was in euros, but the parking is free.
Je voulais tellement aimer cet endroit mais... La conduite là-haut n'est pas pour ceux qui ne sont pas habitués à conduire en montagne. Les parkings étaient pleins pour que vous ayez dû attendre les gens qui partaient. L'acte de stationnement dans ces espaces pauvres était aussi assez difficile. Le site Web mentionne que c'est à 1km à pied des parkings, ce qu'ils ne mentionnent pas, c'est que c'est une pente extrêmement raide. Une fois, il n'y a que deux toilettes à l'entrée. Cela signifiait qu'il y avait toujours une queue et pas d'options si vous êtes à mi-chemin autour d'une promenade de 3 heures (sauf pour les arbres.... Le paysage est époustouflant, mais ne venez pas s'attendre à voir beaucoup d'animaux. Ils sont sauvages donc il est très frappé et manquant. Pas quelque part que je recommanderais.
Such a great spot to bring kids but be warned that there’s definitely an incline or two. The animals are all super chill and easy to spot. Would recommend for all ages. Definitely make a reservation in advance and be prepared to HIKE from the parking spots to the entrance if you’re not blessed to get one of the 10 or so spots near the top.
This was the perfect outing for our family of 4 (kids ages 9 and 10). The animals roam free and are very easy to see. We went around 5:30pm and the animals were all very active! A huge bonus is that the location provides stunning views of the mountains across the valley.
