サンレミアンボスの天然記念物・トップ18

The highest road pass in the Aosta Valley and a place that has always fascinated the writer for its thousand-year history, the austere Mauritian hospice and the profound beauty of the landscape.

Very panoramic hill, reachable only with bike on your shoulder

A wonderful sight after a long climb - in early summer, when the lake is just waking up from hibernation, you can sometimes see very beautiful pictures of melting ice, snow marbled with Sahara dust and blue water.

A nice little place at the bottom of the valley near a picnic area. Great place to relax and soak your feet after a hike

Drive past and enjoy, definitely too cold for swimming

Still one of the emblematic and popular passes of the region. This particular pass is often covered in snow in early summer, so use caution and make sure you are diligent in your planning. However, this pass provides an excellent and challenging climb, forming part of a very natural loop when included with two other passes in the area. As you pass over the pass, you'll experience brilliant panoramic views and a secluded mountain ambiance.

At almost 2,600 meters above sea level, the Tête de la Tronche is the highest peak of a grassy ridge that extends from the top of Mont de la Saxe to Col Sapin. The view is phenomenal: from the Mont Blanc massif and the Grandes Jorasses to Val Veny with the powerful glacial flow of the Miage glacier. And you can also see Courmayeur and its mountain, Mont Chétif.

It has enough parking space to park the car and go for a hike or bike ride. Very nice area, with good restaurants.
