The position of Saint-Nicolas (at an altitude of 1200 metres) is the first
attraction of this lovely spot, placed an a terrace along the winding Dora
Baltea river. From there you can get a view an Mount Gran Paradiso which takes
your breath away, but it's also a precious lonely spot, a more and more
appreciated peculiarity, by people looking for peaceful holidays.
At Saint-Nicolas, summer is the occasion for numberless walks and trips along
easy paths and for naturalistic observations in the area of Bois De La Tour
(Tower wood), a wood provided with natural-paths, accessible even to blind
people, through didactic panels fitted up with explanations in Braille. In this
wood it's even possible to carry out an activity of orienteering.
This place is also abbat Jean-Baptiste Cerlogne's birthplace, the first person
to codify the local language. In order to
defend and spread the "patois",
a French-Provenqal dialect, and
the values it expresses, just in
Saint-Nicolas the famous centre
of studies "René Willien" is
operating.
In winter Saint-Nicolas changes into a
paradise for cross-country skiers with its
run going up an undulating ground which extends
from the inhabited place to the Bois De La Tour.
Moreover the run is illuminated, and this allows
skiing by night in an enchanted atmosphere. But
in Saint-Nicolas skiing also means ski hiking and
ski touring. Its slight slopes which go up towards the watershed of the Gran San
Bernardo valley,
provide a lot of easy runs, while the highest
summits can he reached using skis with sealskins.
At the end of these healthy and spectacular excursions, restaurants and hotels
suggest to meet with the dishes of the local gastronomy, This is also the season
to wander from village to village looking for some wooden object prepared by
craftsmen.
