“Evocative panorama,
emotions and traditions”
In a magnificent basin overlooked by Mont Rose, the hamlets of Ayas unfold: Antagnod, Champoluc, Frachey, Saint-Jacques and Crest are among the most well known.
Fields, pastures, woods, glaciers, rock faces and the overlooking massif, make for a unique and evocative panorama.
An ideal destination in any season, the Ayas valley is gifted with good infrastructure, with 150 km of ski runs and numerous cableways.
During your walks, you can discover the traditional rascard, which are dwellings made from timber and stones, and get yourself some made-to-measure sabot clogs; or perhaps ascend the mountain pastures to participate in the preparation of Fontina, the typical PDO cheese of the Aosta Valley.
