トゥル湖周辺のおすすめファミリーハイキング＆ウォーキング

nice single track that runs along the lake

This climb is incredible: it doesn't have any difficult gradients, but it's long, incredibly long, endless. You reach a point where you almost hate it: you've been pedaling for well over an hour and the summit is still out of sight, you're running out of energy and the wind keeps whipping you in the face, you want to throw your bike away and say, "Enough! I'll stop here!"... but it's only a moment, because you're the one who chose to tackle it and you knew exactly what you were getting into; you set off again with more determination than before and attack those last few kilometers of road with all your remaining strength. And then you enter the tunnel, there you begin to realize you've made it, you exit, follow the road that bends slightly to the left, and, as if in a dream, the lake appears. You reach the top and think about how many people have traveled this road over the centuries: Salassi, Romans, monks, migrants, Napoleonic soldiers... you realize you're in a place steeped in history and stunning nature, and there you can't help but love this hill.

View of the Swiss Alps...there's still snow in the less exposed areas

Hotel Italia is highly recommended

The austere buildings of the Hospice of Great St. Bernard are situated in a rocky pass through which an icy wind almost always blows, on the edge of a lake that is frozen for an average of 265 days a year and where winter lasts almost eight months. For nine centuries, the Canons Regular of the Order of St. Augustine, who settled here at the instigation of St. Bernard of Menthon, have maintained a tradition of helpfulness and hospitality. Travellers who wish to relax for a while in this peaceful place are welcome all year round.

Surprising hydraulic-powered grain mill dating from the 17th century, in perfect state of conservation, nestled on the banks of Valsorey. The visit is worth it, explanatory panels on the history, the functioning of the mill and the flora and fauna of the surrounding area, as well as the perfect layout of the route and the beauty of the gorges where the mill is located make the visit essential.

A fairly wide and open mountain pass, covered with scree and boulders, giving this pass an almost lunar atmosphere. This pass is nestled between La Tsavre and the western ridge of Becca Colinta, overlooking Val Ferret. The trails, as well as the summit, are excellent examples of alpine terrain, combined with technical and rocky trails, winding through incredible and fascinating terrain, with a fantastic ambiance.
