Chamois - Innesto sentiero n.4

Chamois holds a unique distinction in Italy: a municipality with no road access whatsoever, reachable only on foot or by cable car from Buisson. From this already-elevated starting point at 1812 m the trail gains a further 779 metres over 5.8 km to join trail no. 4 at 2600 m, climbing west-facing slopes above the central Aosta Valley. The route crosses the high pastures that define Chamois territory, with widening views toward the Dora Baltea and the Matterhorn massif. The car-free character of the departure village lends the itinerary a quietness rare in more frequented valleys.
