- Areas of special use: areas include reduced in size and which are essential for the administration, office accommodation, restaurant, aviation runway, and so on
- Zone extensive use: areas to which visitors access for education and recreation (and self-guided interpretive trails, paths "cross country", etc.)
- Zones intensive: consist of areas with outstanding scenery and that lend themselves to relatively dense recreational activities (camping areas, visitors' centers and scenic lookouts)
- Buffer Zones and Recovery:areas that have been severely damaged and it is mostly to areas adjacent to the surrounding populations
- ZoneCore: natural areas that have received the minimum of disruption caused by man (comprising three distinct nuclei and characteristic of the place)
