Hiking
Pont-Serrand and Orgères
At 1630 meters above sea level along the Via delle Gallie which went up from Ariolica (La Thuile) to Alpis Graia (Piccolo San Bernardo Pass) there is the village of Pont Serrand.
The toponym explains its position near a deep gorge cut by the waters of the Dora di Verney stream which the Romans already crossed with a wooden bridge of which traces have now been lost. At the entrance to the village there is the chapel dedicated to Saints Bernardo and Maurizio.
