Holiday apartment in Grand Brissogne – Discover trails, mountains and culture

Grand Brissogne combines a mountain and cultural setting in which a specific trail is just as important as local history. Trail 11 leads from Grand-Brissogne to an altitude of 1,725 metres in the municipality of Pollein. It connects the lower part of the Vallone di Les Laures with Arpisson, which lies on a terrace at the foot of the north face of Monte Émilius. Arpisson can be identified by several old mountain huts. For families with different interests, this specific route can provide a starting point for discovering the landscape and traces of the past together.

Trails and mountain landscapes around Grand Brissogne

The area around Grand Brissogne includes Becca di Nona, a mountain. Punta Rossa and Monte Ander, both peaks, are also located nearby. Arco D'Augusto complements this selection as a natural rock arch. You can therefore plan your trip around a variety of natural features without committing to a single destination.

Local connections with SVAP

The routes operated by SVAP also contribute to the region's local connections. SVAP operates route 12, “Grand Brissogne-Neyran”. It also operates route 1, “Aosta-Pollein-Brissogne”. The two routes therefore bring Grand Brissogne, Neyran, Aosta and Pollein into consideration when planning your days.

Local history and festival culture

The Ménabréaz Bivouac is dedicated to the memory of the partisan Ernesto Ménabréaz. In August, the Fëta de l'Oumbra Brissogne's most important gastronomic festival celebrates the patron saint of the town. In the municipality of Brissogne, only the imposing main tower from the 13th century remains of the monumental Castello di Brissogne castle complex; the residents call it “Tornalla”.

Winter ice climbing in Les Laures

At approximately 1,400 metres, experienced ice climbers can climb the Pink Gully route in the Les Laures area during winter. For your trip planning, this fact adds a clear winter focus alongside hiking. Those travelling with several interests can thus combine active days in the outdoors with cultural discoveries.

Cultural destinations in the surrounding area

The area around Grand Brissogne is home to further cultural destinations: Roncas Palace is a palace, Castello di Fenis is a castle, Teatro Romano di Aosta is a historic site, and Castello Reale di Sarre is a castle. Together, these places expand the cultural scope of your trip to include palace architecture, castles and a historic site. They therefore offer specific points of interest for days when history and buildings, rather than the mountain landscape, are the focus.
