Saint-Rhémy-en-Bosses The Great St. Bernard

In the northwest of Italy, on the border with Switzerland, the Great St. Bernard Valley along with the Valpelline and the valley of Ollomont, represent one of the most fascinating areas of the Aosta Valley.
These valleys not only offer rugged and striking views but are also the custodians of deeply rooted local traditions, making this area a must-see destination for lovers of nature and Alpine culture.
Breathtaking Views and Unspoiled Nature Great St. Bernard Valley The Great St. Bernard Valley is famous for its namesake pass, a historic crossing point used since the time of the Roman Empire and made famous by the presence of the hospice founded by St. Bernard of Menton in the 9th century.
The pass, which connects Italy and Switzerland, offers a natural spectacle of rare beauty in summer, with vast green meadows and mountains rising majestically to the horizon.
Valpelline and Vallone di Ollomont The Valpelline and Vallone di Ollomont, lesser known but no less striking, are true hidden treasures.
Here, visitors can immerse themselves in an authentic alpine environment, where high peaks alternate with quiet mountain villages.
These valleys are ideal for hiking, trekking, and, in winter, ski touring and snowshoeing.
Local Traditions and Gastronomy A Dive into Alpine Culture The Great St. Bernard, Valpelline and Ollomont valleys are places where local traditions are still alive.
Numerous festivals and markets celebrating local crafts, music and gastronomy take place throughout the year.
