“Spectacular terraces
and DOC red wine”
The past has left indelible traces at Donnas, an obligatory stop-off point on the consular Gaul Roman road, a paved stretch of which is still preserved today, along with a typical arch carved into the stone, which dates back to the I century A.D., and has become symbolic of the town.
“Vertical ice
and green as far as the eye can see”
Set at the heart of the Grand Paradis National Park, the evocative basin of Cogne is surrounded by a limitless stretch of green: the St. Ourse’s meadows. So picturesque that they have been added to the list of ‘Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty’, and which, in September, will host one of the traditional Bataille de Reines (battle between horned cows).
