There are four valleys in the area: the Valgrisenche, the Valley of Rhêmes, the
Valsavarenche and Cogne Valley. The last three are partly included in the
territory of the Gran Paradiso National Park, with information centres at
Dégioz, Rhêmes-Notre-Dame and Cogne.
From the vineyards on the banks of the Dora Baltea river to the iced peak of
Gran Paradiso, the highest mountain completely Italian: this is the synthesis of
the land in the communes of Arvier, Avise, Introd, Rhemes-Notre-Dame, Rhemes-
Saint-Georges, Saint-Nicolas, Saint-Pierre, Valgrisenche, Valsavarenche,
Villeneuve. It's a territory which extends either on the right or on the left
side of the central furrow of the Aosta Valley, reaching on one side the region
of Piedmont and France and on the other the Gran San Bernardo valleys and Mount
Blanc. The most important summer attractions are represented by the numberless
walks and excursions, climbs, horse trekkings, free climbings, but also by the
activities on rivers, such as rafting and kayak, or paragliding, cultural visits
and gastronomy: in a word, everything concerning nature, art, culture and
sport.
In winter the territory of the communes of Arvier, Avise, Introd, Rhêmes-Notre-
Dame, Rhêmes-Saint-Georges, Saint-Nicolas, Saint-Pierre, Valgrisenche,
Valsavarenche, Villeneuve is ideal for snow sports, starting from cross-country
skiing to ski touring. The cross-country runs, among the most beautiful in the
Region are often chosen by champions for their trainings and they allow the best
known national or international competitions. Those who prefer downhill skiing
find their suitable place, mostly for beginners and families with children. The
ski touring fans can reach lonely vales crowded with steinbocks and chamois and
have at their disposal fantastic tracks on the glaciers of Gran Paradiso. Those
who are fond of nature, at last, can penetrate into the woods of the park
wearing snowshoes, looking for fauna spoors. Everybody can enjoy the refined
gastronomy based on traditional dishes and DOC wines from vineyards which strive
their space along the rocks of the mountains.
