Doues Village and Church

Highlight • Settlement

Doues is a beautiful mountain town with a church worth seeing on the edge of the great St.Bernhard.
It is worth taking a detour through the village, as the route leads along quiet roads with little traffic. In the village you can take a good rest. There is also a refreshment stop at the entrance to the village (Osteria)

Allein Village Center

Highlight • Settlement

Allein is a small jewel perched on the slopes of Mont Saron. Allein's origins are lost in the mists of time. It is hypothesized that its name derives from the Latin "Allius", or from the presence of the Alans, a Sarmatian tribe that settled here in the 5th century AD. Other scholars, however, trace it back to medieval Germanic contamination. The Roman era has left its mark on the territory: in 1856 several silver coins dating back to the Republican era were found, today kept in the Académie Saint-Anselme museum in Aosta. In the Middle Ages, Allein belonged to the Lordship of Gignod, then passing under the dominion of the Savoy in the 16th century.

Gignod

Highlight • Rest Area

Like all municipalities of the Great Saint Bernard Valley, the history of the Gignod area is strongly influenced by the Via Francigena. It was a transit route between the north and south of Europe and was traveled by pilgrims traveling to Rome and the Holy Land in the Middle Ages.

Gignod

Highlight • Settlement

The municipality of Gignod, located about 8 kilometers from Aosta, lies at 988 meters above sea level on a shelf on the slopes of Punta Chaligne, in the Gran San Bernardo valley. Numerous villages extend around the main nucleus of the town and integrate harmoniously into the mosaic of the landscape.
The town occupies a key position along the route of the Via Francigena, a recently revamped route dedicated to hikers wishing to follow the ancient paths frequented first by the Salassi and later by the Romans, to then be used by medieval pilgrims heading to Rome.
Today, Gignod has become a holiday destination for tourists in search of the tranquility of natural spaces, which offer priceless views of the Valpelline mountains and the majestic Swiss massif of the Grand Combin.
