Towards Monte Rosa, in the footsteps of the Challant family
The vast massif of Monte Rosa with its imposing glaciers and extensive forested areas frames the Ayas valley.
Here you will find ancient tradition, gold mines and exquisite cheeses.
In winter, the extensive MonterosaSki area connects the slopes of the Ayas valley with those of the Gressoney valley and Alagna, in Piedmont.
Ascending from Verrès along the Ayas valley, you will encounter a handful of villages, scattered like mountain flowers in the pastures: first Challand-Saint-Victor, Challand-Saint-Anselme, Brusson, and then, higher up, the renowned villages of Antagnod and Champoluc.
If you love traveling not just along trails but also through time, in the Ayas valley you can also find ancient noble residences and villages with Walser architecture.
