Pasture from which you pass to go in the direction of the hourly refuge of Cuney. From here you have a 360 ° view over the entire valley below

Going up from the path to the Cuney Oratory, past some beautiful flowering meadows, you reach this mountain pasture also located at the end of a dirt road

La Tza de Fontaney, located at 2,300 meters above sea level in the heart of the Saint-Barthélemy valley, is an alpine pasture that enchants with its natural beauty and breathtaking view. Reachable via a pleasant path through larch forests and alpine pastures, this place offers a wide panorama that embraces Monte Rosa, Mont Emilius and the surrounding peaks. A mountain corner perfect for those seeking peace, pure air and an authentic experience immersed in the uncontaminated nature of the Aosta Valley.
