프레생디디에 최고의 사이클링 경로

A typical Aosta Valley village nestled in the mountains, a crossroads for Colle San Carlo, the Piccolo San Bernardo, and Pré-Saint-Didier. A little trivia: it was here that, at the end of the Second World War, a partisan brigade and a small republican brigade, putting aside all hatred, jointly opposed De Gaulle's attempt to annex the Aosta Valley to France.

Lake Verney is the largest natural alpine lake in the Aosta Valley. Of glacial origin, it lies at an altitude of 2,088 m, between Bec des Rousses, the promontory of the Little St. Bernard Pass, and Mount Chaz Dura. The lake's shores are colonized by hygrophilous vegetation, including prized botanical varieties such as cotton grasses, sedges, and rushes, as well as sphagnum moss, a typical peat bog species. On the sides, nature's work has left moraine deposits rich in springs, a perfect habitat for primroses and saxifrages. In ancient times, over 2,000 years ago, the Salassi people considered these waters sacred: they were used to bless fields, marriages, and children, and to propitiate a fruitful summer or a benevolent winter. When Salassi leaders returned victorious from battle, they offered the swords of their fallen adversaries to Graius, the god of war and rocks, as a sign of thanks. Today, Lake Verney is a favourite destination for many tourists as well as a fishing reserve.

Nice town

Nice view from the pass!

Great for taking a break

La Thuile is one of the largest municipalities in the Aosta Valley; it is located in Valdigne, an area whose name derives from "Vallis Digna" which describes a valley worthy of being colonized for its magnificent exposure at the foot of Mont Blanc but above all worthy of the highest consideration because it was the main connection route with Narbonensis Gaul. At 1450 meters above sea level La Thuile is a mountain village with just over 800 inhabitants (less than seven per square kilometre) which become many more thanks to its strong tourist vocation: in winter it is an international ski resort with slopes reaching the Little Saint Bernard Pass and La Rosiére and in summer it is a place for nature walks, bike excursions and outdoor activities. You can admire the Rutor Glacier (the third largest in the Aosta Valley) with the Rutorine waterfalls with 3 rock falls, discover the mining past linked to the extraction of silver first and then anthracite, find old seventeenth-century entrenchments or admire glimpses of the Mont Blanc massif. In the midst of so much nature, the traditions of a mountain culture rich in values also stand out: food and wine, craftsmanship (The Maison Musée Berton - maisonberton.it - is the ideal place to discover it through a private collection in a private villa now transformed into a house museum) , local products such as Fontina - fontina-dop.it -.
