The Ru Neuf canal originates from the Artanavaz stream at around 1250 m and was built in 1327 with the aim of irrigating the fields of the arid Aosta hill. Even today, various sections of the canal maintain their medieval character, continuing to perform the function of taking water from the stream and transporting it to the Aosta hill.
The path begins at the former colony at Plan d'Avie in the municipality of Aosta, located about 8 kilometers from the center of the capital, and continues northwards to the Echevennoz hamlet of Etroubles.
