But the thing that delights newcomers is not only the haunting beauty of the high peaks and wildlife but also the local people, still living a traditional life in mountain villages which have remained largely unchanged for centuries in this isolated area.

The Park holds a culture still rooted in an age long past, as local farmers still follow a traditional way of life that has long-since disappeared from most areas in Europe. Since prehistoric time, struggle between mankind and the hard living conditions imposed by these mountains, has shaped locals' fibre.
