The mountains

The modern holidaymaker who wants to avoid the masses can find solitude in these mountains. A visitor to the area can rock climb and go Alpine or cross-country skiing in landscapes that enable opportunities to meet other people during the journey and speak about shared experiences. There is nothing more beautiful than to stay in one of the four alpine refuges in Bionaz to meet others. The Refuge Aosta is set into a Himalayan landscape, the Refuge of Prarayer is somewhere you can let yourself go between the hundred-year-old larches and the mountain pastures, the Refuge Nacamuli- Collon, is where a lot of routes going through the glaciers and passes cross, the Refuge Crête Sèche, is last refuge before walking on the rocky crests and the endless moraines. These refuges welcome anyone who wishes to stop during their ski touring or mountaineering journey. There is a also ski trail with Biathlon possibilities around the Lexert Lake. You may be fortunate enough to meet Patrick Favre or Elviro Blanc (Olympic champions of biathlon) who live and train in Bionaz. Living the mountains Legend...
