An unmistakable peak, lots of sport and skiing all year round

Pleasant villages overlook the Valtournenche valley; in the background the Matterhorn stands out imposingly. You can already start to see it from Antey-Saint-André, the first municipality in the valley.

Torgnon and La Magdeleine, located opposite each other, are ancient villages whose many hamlets retain their characteristic Alpine architecture. From Torgnon, across the Saint Pantaléon pass, a good panoramic point from which to admire the valley and the Matterhorn, it is possible to descend towards Verrayes and Saint-Denis and reach the central valley.

Chamois (Pearl of the Alps) can only be reached by cable car or on foot from La Magdeleine or Valtournenche.

Valtournenche is the homeland of the Matterhorn mountain guides and has in its territory the renowned resort of Breuil-Cervinia, one of the largest ski areas in the Alps. In this tourist area you can enjoy many outdoor activities and skiing even in summer.
