Discover the Aosta Valley by walking in its “high lands,” along the mid-mountain trails or in the valley floor.

Catch the scents carried by the wind in every season: the fragrance of flowers or resin, the crystalline smell of snow.
Step by step the path becomes a summit, the air smells of fulfilment and freedom, and enchanting views merge into a kaleidoscope of horizons.
The emotions go beyond the altitude and beyond the perception of the void, filled by so much beauty. The moment you gain the summit or reach your destination, the mountains and nature of the Aosta Valley repay your effort.

Depending on the time you have at your disposal, your training or your experience you can choose one-day excursions or treks lasting several days such as the Alte Vie trails or the international tours around the highest peaks of the Alps (including tour of Mont Blanc, Monte Rosa or Matterhorn). Discover the five stages of the Via Francigena in the Aosta Valley, or walk along the Cammino Balteo, ideal in spring and autumn.

August 2024:

Due to the atmospheric events at the end of June some paths may be interrupted and unusable. While waiting for the complete reconnaissance of the trail network (and any restoration interventions), before embarking on the excursions it is advisable to find out on site about the conditions of practicability (contacting the forestry stations, the offices of the mountain guides, the keepers of the refuges)

Taking into account this summer's weather conditions, on the paths, especially above 2,500 metres above sea level and in shaded areas, at the passes and in canyons at medium and high altitudes, there is snow on the ground, where it is generally not present in this season, that in the morning or in cold weather can create difficulty in crossing (hard snow). It is therefore recommended to adopt appropriate equipment (hiking poles or ice axe, crampons, gaiters ...). Also you can find snowfields covering the the riverbeds that can, if crossed, break suddenly..
