Do you wish to participate to a traditional celebration organised by the two communities that leave around the Little Saint Bernard Pass? Do not miss this event!
In local dialect “Pass’ Pitchü” means “passage to the Hills of Little St. Bernard”. When the snow falls and the Hills of Little St. Bernard open to traffic, the exchanges start again between the French valley of Tarentaise and the Aosta Valley. Naturally, Pass’ Pitchü is the first, popular French-Valdôtain festival of the season. The towns of Séez Saint-Bernard and La Thuile, two towns with very strong craft traditions, take turns to organise this festival that unites a considerable number of crafts people from the two valleys who present their products (sculpture in wood, cast iron, china, paintings and regional products such as cheese, bread, wine, etc.).
In 2023 Pass’ Pitchü will be held in Séez
