TORGNON THE GREEN HEART OF AOSTA VALLEY

The resort is ideal for all those seeking a break to recharge their batteries and make contact with nature. Torgnon is blessed with breathtaking panoramas: the church, with its belltower, rises above the buildings and, fields, hay meadows, woods and pine forests give a sensation of peace and spaciousness all around.
In spring, when the dandelions flower, fields burst out in yellow.
Later, the colours take on a different hue thanks to the abundant variety of flowers. Thus, in the mountain pastures, violets cluster in fragrant patches of blue. In autumn, red and orange give the countryside a particular charm. Magical views open out to walkers from the tracks winding up to the higher peaks.
There are plenty on offer, too, for those who prefer less arduous treks, perhaps rambling in search of the different hamlets with their chapels and “rascards”, the wood-built hay and grain barns that give an insight into traditional architecture.
