Cammino Balteo: a timeless journey

Previous Next

A hiking itinerary that takes you through more than 40 municipalities of the Aosta Valley region, mostly at medium and low altitudes.

A journey into the innermost heart of the territory and of the local community, where human history has left the most evident signs of its passage, to discover the architecture of the villages as well as local traditions, still alive and deeply rooted, but also the rural landscape: pastures, vineyards, cellars and creameries.

A route that thrills in the presence of Roman and medieval history, but which also becomes an immersion in nature: lakes, waterfalls, nature reserves and wooded areas.

Therefore, a route suitable to different thematic and seasonal inclinations which everyone can give a form to according to his/her needs and time available.

Balteus website: trekking just a click away

The “Balteus” website, optimized for smartphones and tablets, describes the Cammino Balteo trail, step by step, and suggests the experiences not to be missed in the areas crossed by the path.
On many pages there is an interactive map on which it is easy to view the different points of interest (where to sleep, where to eat, what to visit, etc.) and their position in relation to the route.

On the 23 stages pages you will find the technical data of each (altitude gap, length, recommended period, etc.), the description of the route and the possibility, for the most technological hikers, to download the tracks of each stage in .gpx format, to be used with gps satellite navigators, or .kml format, for use with Google Earth.
