BLOT-7130

Arpy is a very famous location for cross-country skiing, a small village that introduces a great valley, wild, defined, the old border between Italy and France. Until 1961 in those areas, now so quiet, a railroad that was used to transport coal from the mines of Col Croce to Morgex passed. We hiked a couple of hours, with the fog who enjoyed chasing us. Once we get to the Col Croce we ate quickly and then we began the ride. Snow condition was great, especially at the beginning of the riding, out of the woods. We had a very nice Sunday!

BLOT-6102Vertosan is believed to have been in ancient times a major road to cross Aosta Valley in direction of the Grand Saint Bernard Pass towards Switzerland. Even prehistoric settlements are present on the pass heading the valley, but it’s surely been more frequented in the past than now: today you will find no road or village up in the valley. Freedom and untouched terrain reigns up there now… and that’s what we like!
