Valgrisenche: a traditional ancient village

Valgrisenche, sitting at 1,664 meters above sea level, is a quiet, little Alpine village with its parish church of the 14th century and its medieval bell tower.  Valgrisenche, is an isolated village surrounded by the most beautiful landscapes, mountains covered with glaciers and forests populated by the fauna and flora of the Alps.  An ideal place for those who want to get away from it all and be in contact with nature.  

 

Drap weaving has been the typical handicraft of the inhabitants of Valgrisenche and In the old looms of this village is still manufactured the drap, a traditional thick woolen fabric used on clothes and furniture.

 

The particular micro-climate here always ensures an abundance of falling, powdery snow. The ski resort is particularly suited to beginners and families with children, and the cross-country pistes are developed and offer levels suitable to everyone's ability and training.
