Chamois - Col di Nannaz

Chamois is one of the very few Italian municipalities with no road access — it is reached only on foot or by cable car from Buisson. This isolation sets the tone for the climb to Col de Nannaz (2772 m), a 6.9 km route with 960 m of ascent graded E. From the village at 1823 m the trail climbs steadily through summer pastures and alp zones before reaching the rocky upper slopes below the col. At 2772 m, the Col de Nannaz offers a sweeping 360-degree panorama over the central Aosta Valley peaks. The car-free context of Chamois gives this outing an unusual sense of genuine remoteness.
