Fitness level
Starting from Chamois at 1812 m — a village accessible only on foot or by cable car — this 6.6 km route climbs 982 metres to the Col de Nannaz at 2772 m via the Cleyva Bella variant. The entire ascent avoids paved roads entirely, offering one of the most authentic wilderness experiences in the central Aosta Valley. High alpine pastures, sweeping views of the Monte Rosa massif and a remote, lonely pass reward experienced hikers willing to earn the altitude.
