Lo Djoua de Toueno B&B is in the town of Arvier, suburb of Chamençon, at 1,250 m altitude. The house is a typical stone and wood building; it was recently renovated and dates back to the seventeenth century. It is surrounded by still unspoilt nature, with woods, pastures, and lovingly kept vegetable gardens. There are two double rooms available, as well as a large living room on the top floor, where guests can have breakfast while enjoying the splendid view of the Ruitor glacier. It will be pleasant resting before the fireplace in the evening with a board game, sipping on some good herb tea or grappa, or enjoying the sunset in the large green area in front. The decor sprang from the hands of the houses’ owners, who worked the historical old wood with passion and respect for tradition, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere. You will be surrounded by objects that speak to you softly: an old woodsmen’s sled, a carpenter’s table, a pair of wooden skis; the memories will take you far away…

The B&B Maison de la Montagne is located in a typical mountain hamlet called Arvier, a few km away from Courmayeur, from the Terme di Pré-saint Didier, from Mont Blanc and from the main ski resorts in the upper Valle d’Aosta. It is a strategically located place from which to enjoy the main tourist attractions without giving up small comforts (cafés, restaurants, pizzerias, markets, pharmacy just a few steps away!). If you want to spend a relaxing holiday in the heart of the Alps, this is the place for you!
Maison de la Montagne was born from the union of our great passions: that for the mountains (and all the activities related to them) and for that place we call home.
As soon as we crossed the threshold of that early 19th-century building immersed in the small hamlet of Arvier, we immediately knew that it would become our “home” ... and home for all those who, in transit, want to stop for a relaxing little break. During the renovation, we maintained the existing structural and architectural features, redoing them in a modern key. Here, simplicity and essentiality are the leitmotif, which completely agrees with our philosophy of life. Our aim is to make you feel at ease in a quiet place, away from the daily chaos and, at the same time, provide you with adequate information and advice so that you can plan your days “en plein air” to the best.

Arvier è un paese della valle centrale posto all’incirca a metà strada tra Aosta e Courmayeur. “View of the Vineyards” offre il servizio di noleggio bici e sorge in una zona rinomata per lo sci e l’equitazione.
Durante il vostro soggiorno potrete prendere un caffè sul terrazzo “View of the Vineyards” godendovi la vista sulle montagne, sui vigneti e sul giardino.
Inoltre presso questo bed & breakfast avrete gratuitamente a disposizione la connessione Wi-Fi e un parcheggio pubblico.

Of brand new construction, this unique complex offers pleasantly furnished apartments.
Its central and panoramic position in the Gran Paradiso Valley is within easy reach of the Courmayeur, La Thuile, Valgrisenche, Valsavarenche, Cogne, Rhêmes and Pila ski resorts.

At Grand-Haury, a village dominated by the castle of Montmayeur, you will find welcoming apartments in a traditional, fully restructured '800 building, the whole year round.
Its panoramic terraces, the fresh aroma of the forests, its proximity to the Gran Paradiso National Park and to the residence of S. Padre, make it an excellent base for excursions of foot, horse-back, mountain-bikes or with snow-shoes and cross-country skiing.

Located in Runaz, a charming hamlet of Avise, along the central axis of the Aosta Valley, the bed & breakfast consists of two double bedrooms, one of which can accommodate a third bed. The property is located in an old 19th-century building, renovated in 2008 while maintaining the architectural pecularities of the ancient building.

Struttura nuova frutto di una attenta ristrutturazione valorizzando le materie prime presenti nel rustico. All’interno delle stanze verrete avvolti da una atmosfera di ‘montagna’. Le stanze caratterizzate da un mix di pietra e legno sono comunque dotate di tutti i confort che può offrire una struttura moderna.

L’amore della montagna ci ha portato a vivere in questo angolo di paradiso. Vi aspettiamo per condividere le bellezze della natura circostante.

Cerellaz è un piccolo borgo di montagna con circa 60 abitanti a 1250m di quota. La sua esposizione in pieno sud lo rende un balcone in pieno sole che si affaccia sulle valli del Gran Paradiso. La vista spazia dal monte Emilius alla magnifica Grivola. Dal paese con brevi passeggiate si possono raggiungere i diversi punti panoramici con vista sul Monte Bianco.

Situé à Avise, à quelques kilomètres de la station de ski de Courmayeur Mont-Blanc, en Vallée d’Aoste, le château des seigneurs d’Avise est encore aujourd’hui bien conservé.
Au premier étage, dans une des anciennes salles de ce manoir, les espaces ont été aménagés en suite. Accessible par l’escalier en colimaçon en pierre qui, de l’extérieur, monte au cœur de ce château ancien, une chaleureuse alcôve a été réalisée afin de vous accueillir et de vous offrir des émotions uniques.
Meublée avec goût et avec un grand savoir-faire, elle comprend, sur ses 32 m2, un espace nuit, un séjour, un dressing, une salle de bains séparée et un bio-sauna en bois de pin des Alpes.

The house in the prairie is not just a movie; a welcoming Chambre d’Hotes was built in Vertosan next to the renowned trattoria. Beautifully renovated with great passion and care in picking the materials, reusing as much as possible the old building’s stones and wood boards. The whole roof was made strictly with Valle d’Aosta larch wood, the plasterwork is lime-based, and natural pigments were used for the colours of the rooms.
The furniture is all Aosta Valley antiques; many of the doors and fabrics are made of natural fibres.
We self-produce all of the energy we use through our local hydroelectric plant on Vertosan creek and our photovoltaic panels.

The “Biancospino B&B” is located in Introd, a quiet mid-mountain village, 880 m asl, right on the edge of the Gran Paradiso National Park, at the entrance to the Rhemes and Valsavarenche Valleys. Easily accessible, but at the same time surrounded by nature, a two-minute walk from the center of the town and in just 10-30 minutes by car you can reach many places of interest in the Aosta Valley.
The original house was built in the 60s according to a flat type of construction, and precisely because it does not at all recall the typical structures of the Aosta Valley, in its recent renovation (2014-2015) we tried to keep these differences, even by using modern materials.
The Bed and Breakfast consists of three bedrooms: spacious, with private bathrooms with shower and meticulously decorated; a comfortable breakfast room, a garden where you can sunbathe and where children can play as well as a porch where you can have breakfast on sunny days or read and relax outdoors.
The rooms do not have television sets so as to offer guests a true “escape from everyday life”.

The ‘Le Renard d’Introd’ bed & breakfast is located in the small town of Introd, on the edge of the National Park of Gran Paradiso, in the upper Aosta Valley, at the entrance to the Valsavarenche and the Val di Rhèmes.

The property is located in a peaceful hilly area, 850 m in altitude and surrounded by fields and forests with an extensive view across the central valley and surrounding mountains.
Immersed in the greenery and the sounds of nature, the ‘Le Renard d’Introd’ bed & breakfast offers its guests two comfortable rooms, each with a private bathroom and terrace.
The rooms, like the whole house, have been furnished using natural materials such as lime, wood, iron and stone, and are decorated used natural fabrics and antique furniture. Breakfast is served on the veranda with a view overlooking the mountains and can also be served on the terrace during the warmer seasons on request.
From the ‘Le Renard d’Introd’ bed & breakfast you can reach some of the main attractions of the middle-upper valley by bus in 10-30 minutes:
the beauty of the paths and the pistes of Valsavarenche and Val di Rhèmes, the castles of St Pierre and Sarre, rafting departure points on the Dora, the wine cellars of the area, Aosta and the cable car for Pila, the Spa of Pré St Didier and in winter, the ski resorts of Pila, La Thuile and Courmayeur…

La Pietra Felice (meaning The Happy Stone) is a simple and cozy accommodation establishment, where you can stay for a holiday, to study and for business, immersed in the midst of nature yet well connected at the same time: in fact, it is located in Introd, embedded within the atmosphere of a small mountain village, very near the breathtaking territory of the Gran Paradiso National Park, along the regional road that leads to Valsavarenche and the Val di Rhemes (Rhemes Valley), not far from Cogne and Courmayeur and from the Pila and La Thuile skiing districts, and just a few kilometres from the Aosta west motorway exit.

La Pietra Felice is the starting point of many tourist routes with various features, for short and relaxing walks and for tackling more challenging routes, accompanied by professional guides upon request: nature guides, alpine guides, ski instructors who are also specialised for people with disabilities and guides to accompany blind athletes.

La Pietra Felice intends to fulfill three main requirements: reception, attention, accessibility. For these reasons, the services offered and the characteristics of the establishment give priority to the needs of the guests and respect of the environment.

The rooms have private bathrooms, independent heating and free internet access (Wi-Fi upon request); four of these rooms are designed to accommodate people with special mobility needs; total, easy accessibility to the establishment is a main feature thanks to private parking area and the lift inside the facility.

Pets are also welcome.

A small library with materials on mountain topics and photography is available for guests together with some books and games for children.

The Stazione dell’Acqua is located at the start of Valsavarenche in the municipality of Introd, at 1,140 metres above sea level. It is surrounded by the Gran Paradiso Nature Park and therefore immersed in the countryside. A room with large windows allows you to enjoy views over Mont Blanc.

The Stazione is located just 20 minutes from the centre of Aosta and 18 km from the Pila ski resort chairlift departure point, 15 km from new chairlift resorts of the Val di Rhemes and 12 km from the downhill skiing resorts of Valsavarenche. For those who love culture, the Station is close to the Castle of Introd, the Castle of Sarre and the Castle of Sarriod de la Tour, in addition to many natural and cultural sites in the area.
The Stazione dell’Acqua is a historical building built in 1923 and carefully renovated. It offers pleasant and functional environments and is particularly welcoming also thanks to the restored original wooden floors.
Due to the location and a large garden that surrounds the room rental, it is suited both for hosting families with children and for travellers looking for a place for a totally relaxing holiday where they can be at one with the nature in this area.

Completed in 2013, the «Petit coin» of Maison ChanteLune stands out for its attention to detail and search for atmospheres of past times.
We offer our guests two themed rooms, each one very different from the other. The first is inspired by traditional mountain constructions, the second by the late Aosta Valley Baroque of our village chapels.
And to start the day sweetly, breakfast is served in the garden of the house …

Chambres d’Hôtes Relais du Paradis is located in the village of Villes Dessous (Introd), at the entrance of the Gran Paradiso National Park.
Relais du Paradis has been renovated twice: once at the end of the sixties when this former Convent of Nuns was converted into residential housing, and then again in 2011 when the house was almost completely rebuilt and joined with a part of the barn. The result is the charming Chambres d’Hôtes gifted with warm and welcoming rooms where you can enjoy moments of perfect relaxation. During the days you will spend at our home, we hope to show you our love for this little Valle d’Aosta. This is a region rich in art, flavours, and ancient traditions that only an alpine region can offer. Manuela will always be there for you and will pamper you with tasty and plentiful ‘‘km 0’‘ breakfasts, savoury and sweet. She will give you the best advice on how to discover the most atmospheric sites. You will also find tourist guides and books for reading by the fireplace in our small library in the lounge. The 6 rooms, all different from one another, provide the warm welcome that is typical of mountains and the past, without however having to do without today’s creature comforts. All the rooms feature exclusive local fir and larch wood furniture and typical mountain fabrics.

The 'Soggiorno Alpino Giovanni Paolo II' holiday house, where the Pope loved to spend a few days of relaxation during summer, is located in the picturesque setting of the village of Les Combes, where you can take in a truly unequalled panoramic view.

Il Fienile della Nonna is located in the historic center of Introd, in Valle d’Aosta at an altitude of 880 meters above sea level. It is located in the Gran Paradiso National Park in a strategic position for excursions or sports activities, ski lifts and services.
An ancient building dating back to 1742, consisting of barns, stables, cellars and houses, it has been renovated with a careful and meticulous project for the recovery of its Alpine architecture both in the use of materials, age-old wood and natural stone, both in the furnishings and in the structures.
Each of the 6 apartments has been given a name (In Patois, the local dialect) which refer to the agricultural tools used to process hay.

The recipe for our welcome is based on a few simple ingredients: nature, physical activity, attention to the territory and its culture, good conversation and stimulating readings.
“La Stazione dell’Acqua” (the Water Station) is located in a strategic position for access to two of the valleys of the Gran Paradiso National Park: the Valsavarenche and the Val di Rhêmes.
Without getting into the car it is possible to walk to discover the woods surrounding the Station. The paths intersect the ancient system of farm roads that characterize this area of the park.
Within a radius of 40/50 minutes by car, you can reach all of the most interesting destinations in the Upper Valley: Val Ferret, Val Veny, Courmayeur, La Thuile, Cogne.
Then, there are the castles: Introd, Saint Pierre and Sarriod de la Tour, Sarre, Aymavilles, Fenis and lengthening the road a bit, the magnificent Bard Fortress.
For lovers of two wheels we recommend trying a trip on our e-bikes cycling along the wide network of dirt roads that branch out around the Station
There are many other activities that we can recommend: the thermal baths of Pré Saint Didier, a climb up Mont Blanc with the SkyWay, a visit to the Parc Animalier d’Introd. And then even the rafting and adventure park in Villeneuve.
In winter, cross-country skiing is the activity that best suits our guests, but also downhill ski slopes are not far away, for example Pila. An oasis for the family is the renewed facility that also has a snow park in Rhêmes Notre Dame.
And if you simply need to rest, you can even stay in the garden sunbathing, read a book comfortably in an armchair in the lounge, have a relaxing sauna.

Cozy and functional, furnished in solid wood, our «Classiques» apartments testify to a rustic yet balanced taste: the ideal solution for a pleasant stay with family or friends.
Completed in 2006, our “Charme” apartments stand out for their attention to detail and for the search for the authentic mountain atmosphere, typical of our “d’antan” houses, ... with a pinch of contemporary elegance.
You will appreciate the solid chestnut kitchen, the stylish bathroom and the early twentieth century bedroom, with a family wardrobe and bed.
We reserve these apartments for our most meticulous guests, for those who seek the authentic soul of the places and people who live there.

Originally a XIX century family home in the ancient village of Villes Dessus, the building has now been divided into five apartments, three communal areas and two independent rooms.
