Rhemes-Notre-dame walk from Rhemes Notre Dame to Lake Pellaud

This route, nestled in the Gran Paradiso National Park, is ideal for lovers of nature and alpine culture. The Departure from Chanevey
Our adventure begins at an altitude of 1690 meters, where ample parking spaces welcome visitors near the Park Visitor Center. After crossing a quaint little bridge over the Dora, the trail takes us toward the village of Bruil, along a well-maintained cemented road. The Trail Between Ovens and Mills
The name of the trail, “Trail Between Ovens and Mills,” evokes a time when these structures were vital to the local community. The mills along the trail, once used to grind grain, and the ovens used to bake the traditional “pan ner” from Valle d’Aosta, tell stories of an industrious past and a culture deeply rooted in the area. A Journey into Nature and History
Continuing on, the trail winds through an enchanting forest of larch and alder trees, where the silence is broken only by the rustling of leaves and the singing of birds. Passing through the villages of Oreiller and Bruil, small architectural gems of this valley, you can get a close look at rural mountain life that still stands the test of time. Toward Lake Pellaud
Past Bruil, a staircase of wood and stone leads us through lush green meadows to the village of Chaudana. From here, the panorama opens up showing breathtaking views of the mountainous surroundings, a perfect prelude to the arrival at Lake Pellaud. Lake Pellaud is not only an arrival point, but a perfect setting to reflect on the beauty and serenity of nature. This trail offers a hike that is not only physically rewarding but also culturally enriching, offering insights into the local history and natural heritage of Gran Paradiso National Park.
