It is part of the unit of the municipalities of Gran Paradiso in the Valle d'Aosta.

The giant bench of Arvier can be easily reached thanks to a circular path that starts from the center of the town and follows the stream that fed the old mill in the Verney hamlet.

From this rest area with a splendid wooden bench you have a splendid view of the valley below. Great for a relaxing stop.

Beautiful route, it took me a bit shorter than indicated. You should wear mountain boots, even though it is stated here that you mainly go through 'forest'.

From Lake Fondo you have a beautiful view of the Rutor massif. The perfect destination for an excursion or the ideal stop for a break, if you follow the Alta Via 2.

This bivouac is newly built, dates back to 2021, and is named after the mountaineer Cosimo Zappelli. He was a mountain guide and ski instructor.
