Country Chic House In The Heart Of Pennine Alps

In the wide and picturesque Great St. Bernard Valley we offer for sale a house whose original core dates back to 1878. It is said that during the long winter nights of the past the village inhabitants gathered in the cellar surmounted by a barrel vault, transforming it into a dance and convivial hall. Recently renovated with the highest quality materials that reflect the Alpine style with country-chic elements, the property is an excellent opportunity for those who wish to live in a rustic and informal setting, immersed in the atmosphere of a genuine Alpine village. Adjacent to the already renovated portion an old barn structured on three levels constitutes a huge extra cubic capacity to be used at the customer’s discretion: there is the possibility of making mini apartments or suites for tourist purposes or expand the living area if there is a need for more bedrooms.

The surrounding landscape is hilly, surmounted by the Grand Combin and others majestic peaks of the Pennine Alps. The steep slopes of Crévacol are less than 20 km away and the Snow Park of Flassin with its cross-country ski trails that run alongside the ancient woods is approximately 13 km away, the same distance that is needed to reach the centre of Aosta, with its Roman ruins and its thousand-year history. The barycentric location makes the property an excellent starting point to reach the most interesting places in Aosta Valley Region in a maximum of a couple of hours driving. In addition to cross-country and downhill skiing, there are ski mountaineering routes that lead to Creux and Champillon. Entering the surrounding woods on foot or with snowshoes it is not uncommon to see wildlife in the many woods surrounding the village.
