Aosta Valley
Every day, a different perspective.
The Aosta Valley
A valley to experience.
In every season.
Italy’s smallest region, bordering France and Switzerland, is home to some of the highest Alpine peaks: the Matterhorn, Monte Rosa, Gran Paradiso and the majestic Mont Blanc, the roof of Europe at 4,810 m.
An ideal destination for winter sports enthusiasts, the Aosta Valley is enchanting all year round, with its green valleys and fairytale castles. From exclusive resorts to small chalets, hospitality comes in every form, offering every traveller a wealth of experiences and excursions to discover the region’s soul.
Explore Aosta and gems such as Cervinia and Courmayeur on foot or by bike, or immerse yourself in Gran Paradiso National Park, where you may spot ibex, chamois, golden eagles and marmots.
Alongside its mountains, the region is known for its captivating castles, which seem to merge with their natural surroundings and make the scenery even more evocative. Art and architecture are never far away.

Nature and trails
Mont Avic
Natural Park.
Mont Avic Natural Park is aprotected natural area covering more than 5,747 hectares and is the closest park to Maison La Corte (Champorcher is 20 minutes away by car). The region’s first regional natural park, following Gran Paradiso National Park, it was established in 1989 and extended in 2003. It lies between the Champdepraz valley and the Champorcher valley, crossed by the Chalamystream, away from the main tourist routes of the Aosta Valley.
The sharp peaks of Mount Avic (3,003 metres), Iverta (2,936 metres) and Glacier (3,186 metres) separate the Champdepraz valley from the Champorcher valley. The park contains the Aosta Valley’s largest forest of mountain pines (Pinus mugo subsp. uncinata) in the Aosta Valley: over 980 hectares.
The park offers a range of trails. The most popular starts in the Champorcher valley and crosses Colle del Lago Bianco into the Champdepraz valley. With the Matterhorn and Monte Rosa in the background, it passes Lac Blanc and the nearby Barbustel Refuge (2,200 metres), then Lac Cornu, before reaching Gran Lago (Grand Lac), the largest natural lake in the Aosta Valley.
Following the Champorcher valley leads to Lake Misérin (22 hectares), at an altitude of 2,576 metres, and along the old Savoy hunting road to the Fenêtre de Champorcher pass (2,826 metres), which opens into the Urtier valley. Other trails start from Chevrère and Veulla, the main village of Champdepraz, at 1,300 metres, passing more lakes, forests and traces of former mining activity.
