“At the foot of the majestic Mount Cervin”

All those who have contributed to the history of mountaineering have passed through here. In fact, the town is the birth place of Mount Cervin’s most celebrated mountain guides of all time.

From ancient times, travellers who have come onto the hill have found themselves before the incredible spectacle of Mount Cervin.
Abbé Gorret (famous mountaineer from the Aosta Valley) said: “For a resident of Valtournenche his village will always be the centre of the world”.

“Rock climbing poetry”

At the heart of the Valpelline, in a verdant and sunny basin, at 1335 meters altitude, the lovely town of Ollomont rises up, among pleasant grassy slopes, lakes and mountain streams. Here nature is the true protagonist and in summer it charms visitors with an array of perfumes and colours, from wild flowers to aromatic herbs.
