More Info
Valsavarenche, located within the Gran Paradiso National Park, is the wildest of the Valle d’Aosta valleys. It is a scattered municipality, in the sense that it is not composed of a single agglomeration, but of several hamlets. The Town Hall is located in Dégioz together with the Park Visitor Center. Its tourism is hiking in summer and snow-related in winter. Among the monuments and places of interest in the valley we mention the Gran Paradiso National Park, the villages of Nex and Tignet with their typical Alpine architecture of the Middle Ages and the Eaux Rousses, a small town whose rock formations have a typical color red due to iron salts.
Valsavarenche is a place frequented mainly by hikers, attracted by the numerous paths that wind through the protected area, where it is easy to come across wild animals such as chamois, ibex, marmots, foxes.
In the hamlet of Degioz, in the Municipality of Valsavarenche, there is the visitor center, inside which there is an exhibition on predators and the lynx, its rapid disappearance and the slow re-colonization of the Alpine territory.
The “Fiha di Civet”, the chamois festival, is held on the second Saturday of August. The meat, marinated for a few days in abundant wine flavored with spices, is then stewed giving rise to a dish with a particularly robust and aromatic flavor, typical of mountain areas.
On the 15th of August the “Feast of the Alpine Guides” is celebrated, with climbing demonstrations, entertainment initiatives and torchlight processions.
