アヤスのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Impressive view in good weather

A great spot to pause before the climb intensifies.

The most popular refuge in the Ayas Valley, just over 3,000 meters above sea level, overlooking the glaciers of the Monte Rosa massif. Many people climb up here, especially in the summer. The final stretch of the climb is very steep, so take it easy.

The village of Saint-Jacques-des-Allemands, located at almost 1,700 meters above sea level, is a small pearl nestled at the end of the Ayas Valley. Here, the characteristic Walser-style houses nestle on the slopes of the Rosa massif mountains, creating a unique landscape where history, traditional architecture and nature blend harmoniously. Walking through its streets means immersing yourself in a timeless atmosphere, between ancient Alpine traditions and breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks.

The Church of San Giacomo dei Germani, dedicated to Saint James the Greater, apostle and patron saint of Spain, is a place full of history and spirituality. Located in the small Walser village of Cunéaz, it is part of the Camino de Santiago, the famous pilgrimage that leads to Santiago de Compostela, where the saint rests. The simple and intimate church offers visitors a moment of pause and reflection, immersed in an atmosphere that combines Alpine tradition with the universal spirituality of the cult of Saint James.

Route to reach the Quintino Sella al Felik refuge. The use of a via ferrata set is recommended (harness, helmet and set with carabiners).

Modern refuge in a beautiful location on the edge of the Felik glacier, between Val d'Ayas and Valle di Gressoney. Ideal base for the climb to Castore and for the Lyskamm crossing.

One of the most important historical refuges in the Alps, at 3000 meters on Monte Rosa. A must-see for every mountain lover. Wonderful
