Col de Nannaz, at 2,772 meters above sea level, is an Alpine pass that offers extraordinary views between Val d’Ayas and Valtournenche. The hike up to this pass, immersed in meadows and rocks, is an invitation to discover the quiet of the mountain and to be won over by the view of the surrounding peaks, among which the majestic Monte Rosa stands out. An ideal place for those seeking an authentic experience between nature, history and high-altitude silence.

Town center quiet stroll passing through larches and flowers! only noise the birds! In Chamois there are no cars!!!!!

on the way back from Chamois you can choose to take the fork towards Col Pilaz to get to the giant bench! the road goes up quite a bit on dirt, in some places due to drainage channels I had to do portage!!!!

In winter, the Big Bench of Col d'Artaz can be reached from Artaz with snowshoes. It is possible to continue the snowshoe hike beyond the big bench by following the trail (which is usually mechanically groomed) to Alpe Charey, which can be reached in about 25 minutes. The groomed trail continues beyond Alpe Charey in the direction of the Champ-Long lakes. The stretch from Alpe Charey to the Champ-Long lakes is uphill, with a difference in altitude of about 160 meters. However, the climb is very gradual, without sudden changes, and therefore can be easily completed in about an hour.

In Chamois, on the occasion of Valentine's Day, it is tradition to draw this suggestive Labyrinth of Love in the snow.
