A hidden gem of Val d'Aosta...

There's a hidden gem in the Italian Alps where time seems to have stopped and where nature has not yet suffered from the feverish progress of modern society. On the contrary this gem treats us to tranquil pristine landscapes, occasionally interrupted by murmurs of mountain streams, roars of mighty waterfalls, the chirping of birds and the rustling of trees. The graceful acrobatics of the Alpine ibex and chamois also fill this valley, which during the spring and summer time is coloured with rare mountain flowers and large expanses of lush green grass against a backdrop of spotless glaciers.

In this hidden gem everyone feels at ease with the world in which we live, since such tranquillity is often forgotten about in today's everyday life for most people. Here everything is different, the local inhabitants know their environment well, and in a caring and respectful manner they easily cohabit with their natural surroundings. Here even the "outsiders" that come to visit freely slip into the rules and laws, written or not, that attune to this magical place.

This hidden gem, part of the Gran Paradiso National Park, is the Val di Rhemes of the Aosta Valley. This website, dedicated to the Val di Rhemes, is for all those people who would like to know and explore it in a closer way by reading its content as well as viewing the images that make up this inspiring valley. We hope that you enjoy this experience and as a result decide to visit in person, you will not be disappointed.
