INFORMATION ON THE ACTIVITIES THAT CAN BE PERFORMED

1 - Summer activities
In summer it is possible to go horseback riding or mountain biking on the easiest paths and to make high altitude trekking and mountaineering for those who want to do something more challenging; there are also areas where canoeing and rafting can be done.
We can organize summer trips along the ancient canals like the Ru d'Arlaz or the Il Ru Courtod. The Ru Courtod takes water from the Rosa's glacier to take it after a good 25 km to Saint Vincent. The peasants continued the work during the summer with regularity for forty years, until 1433, the date of the ratification of the fief by Count François of Challand. Despite the length, its height difference is minimal and the path is also suitable for children.
Did you know that in the Valle d'Aosta region of francophone culture a German-speaking community lives? They are the Walser. We can organize with you a journey to discover the ancient German people Walser who in the XIII emigrated from the Rhone on the high pastures of the Ayas valley founding the villages of Frantzè, Soussun, Resy and Saint Jacques des Allemand. the passage of goods between the southern and northern slopes of Monte Rosa at the time was so thick that the territory occupied by the Walser was called, by the Swiss Vallese, Krämerthal, "Valley of the Merchants", almost the Walsers practiced only the trade. The Walsers were fine soapstone carvers from whom they made pots, food containers and even stoves. They also carved wood from which, in addition to agricultural tools such as rakes, they made cupboards, furnishings and also the famous clogs very similar to the Dutch ones, although less rounded and made with a heavier wood.
You can visit the ancient gold mines of Chamusia in Brusson, The Chamousira mine Fenilliaz is the most important gold mine in the Valle d'Aosta. The discovery of this mine dates back to 1899 and its history therefore accompanies the modern era of metallurgy in Valle d'Aosta.
The mine has an underground extension of about one thousand six hundred meters and had a complex of external installations for the transportation and treatment of the ore. The Chamousira Mine Museum is today the only museum with an underground visit to the Aosta Valley.

On rainy days it is possible to organize relaxing days and massages at the Terme di Champoluc. Also in the Aosta Valley there are also other places where there are spas and we can accompany our guests to visit the thermal baths of Saint Vincent and the more famous ones of Prè Saint Didier. The Valle d'Aosta is rich in history where Hannibal passed with his elephants and Napoleon with his army.

The Aosta Valley is rich in castles from the feudal era and it will be a pleasure for us to help and advise our guests to appreciate the countless castles
In the Ayas valley there is the Castle of Graine before being ceded to the Counts of Challand it belonged to the Swiss Monks who once administered these lands.
The most famous castle is that of Fenis rich in battlements, to that of Saint Pierre which resembles fairies, from that of Verres to that of Issogne, from that of Gressoney to the fort Bard. the Bard Fort was built to withstand sieges in this fort a part of an Avengers movie was also shot. These castles can all be visited and we can accompany you, we can also do this by associating a gastronomic journey of wines, cheeses and salami typical of the valley in typical restaurants.

In Valle d'Aosta passes the ancient Franchis road which is still visible and through paved roads and stone bridges leads to the city of Aosta of Roman origin.

But what you should not miss and the Ancient Roman Forum completely restored and open to visitors, is located near the Cathedral, is accessed by going down a few steps and when you are there you will see the place where the most important exchanges took place is 2 meters below the current height of the city streets with its white portico built with lowered arches, the Criptoportico Forense is the underground jewel of Aosta.
