HIKING TRAILS AT THE FOOT OF MONTE ROSA
Gressoney
Gressoney is the name of a unique territorial and cultural entity, divided into two neighboring municipalities: Gressoney-Saint-Jean (1385 meters) and Gressoney-La-Trinité (1635 meters).
The two municipalities are located at the top of the Lys Valley, one of the longest in the Valle D’Aosta region: it owes its name to the Lys stream that runs through it.
The valley ends at the southern slope of Monte Rosa, the largest mountain range in the Alps and the second highest after Mont Blanc.
Gressoney is a German language island belonging to the Walser community. The population speaks an Alemannic dialect, Titsch (from Greschòneytitsch)
A tourist center since the 19th century, it attracts mountain enthusiasts from all over the world every year.
