ヴェルネイ湖での周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

A great Aosta Valley classic; the climb itself isn't particularly difficult, but be careful not to underestimate the wind that often blows strongly from France, making the 12 km from La Thuile to the pass much more challenging than the steepness suggests. The landscape is beautiful and evocative: from the iconic eight hairpin bends that allow you to leave Pré-Saint-Didier behind, you enter the cool valley that leads to La Thuile. After passing the ski resort, you quickly gain altitude with long straights, then enter the forest and conclude the climb in a vast alpine meadow.

Beautiful hill, ideal climb to do in spring which offers large walls of snow

It's worth at least one tour, even more.

Don't hesitate to go to the Italian side: the coffee is much better.

Bar and restaurant on the Italian side: ideal for a break. Excellent pies, with of course quality Italian coffee.

Lac Longet is a small alpine basin, the perfect place for a walk and a picnic in nature.

The Piccolo San Bernardo hill is located at over 2,100 meters above sea level and connects the Italian valley of La Thuile with the French Val d'Isère. The pass is the lowest alpine pass in the north-western Alps and, also for this reason, it has been frequented since ancient times. In fact, the Via delle Gallie passes through here, the first public work created by the Romans in the Aosta Valley dating back to the 1st century BC.

The Piccolo San Bernardo Pass is an incredible concentration of history and high mountain nature. A place of passage for pilgrims, traders and armies since ancient times, it today preserves evidence of various eras. A true place of memory.
