The starting point alone is worth the journey: Pont d'Ael, built in 3 BC, is one of the best-preserved Roman aqueduct bridges in the Alps. Its stone structure still bears the dedicatory inscriptions of its builders and spans the Grand Eyvia gorge with timeless elegance. From here the trail climbs 883 metres over 5.7 kilometres to Petit Poignon at 1576 metres — a sustained E-rated ascent through the wild Grand Eyvia valley within the Gran Paradiso National Park. The route alternates forested stretches with open sections offering glimpses of the deep gorge below. The arrival at Petit Poignon offers a quiet alpine setting away from the more popular Cogne valley circuits.

História e cultura

Pont d'Ael is a national monument. Its double-arch structure served simultaneously as an aqueduct (upper level) and a road bridge (lower level). Allow time to explore it before or after the hike.
