The Barmaz–Cheneil Inclined Elevator

Highlight • Structure

The lift was inaugurated in August 2016 and allows you to overcome the difference in height of about 50 meters that separates the Balmaz car park from the village of Cheneil. It operates 24 hours a day and is unmanned, so it is used like a normal lift. As you go up, a fantastic panorama opens up, dominated by the silhouette of the Matterhorn.

Cheneil Mountain Village

Highlight • Settlement

Cheneil is a small town located at the foot of Mount Roisetta, Grand Tournalin, Becca Trecalé and Becca d'Aran. It is surrounded by larches and larches. In the village there is the Clavalité sanctuary and the "Louis Carrel" mountaineering school.

Cheneil is one of the few villages in the Aosta Valley that is not accessible by car. The trails that cross the country vary in terms of technical difficulty, but it is certainly possible to run anywhere.

Nannaz Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

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.

Clavalité Sanctuary

Highlight • Religious Site

sanctuary located in a very panoramic position, the effort of the climb for the last stretch is worth it, the last km reaches steep enough slopes for a muscular one, but at the brow before the arrival of the chairlift the wow effect is guaranteed!
