Our closest ski area. The main Aosta to Pila gondola is just 15 minutes by car. Non skiers can take the gondola up to enjoy the bars and restaurants or go for a walk and experience the amazing views.
In spring the slopes are carpeted in wild flowers and thoughout the warmer months it is a walking and biking paradise. During the summer months the gondola takes walkers and bikers up to Pila, some of the chairlifts are also open to take you high into the moiuntain.
