Day 3

Day 3: Vetan round walk to Fallere Lake

Overnight Location - Hotel in Vetan | Distance - 6 hours, 12 km, 680m elevation gain | Meals - Breakfast, Dinner

Overnight Location - Hotel in Saint Nicolas | Distance - 4 hours, 8 km, 325 m elevation gain | Meals - Breakfast, Dinner

For the next leg of your hiking trip through Valle d’Aosta, you’ll travel west above the valley. Traverse up to the pastures where Fontina and Toma cheeses are made. Then, hike down the slopes into the quaint mountain villages below. Make sure you try the local cheese with dinner tonight!

Overnight Location - Hotel in Cogne | Distance - 5.5 hours, 11 km, 900m elevation gain | Meals - Breakfast, Dinner

Start the morning with a hike to Lillaz, a beautiful mountain town. Feel the mist of the nearby waterfalls on your skin before resting for a moment at Loie Lake.

Day 8

Overnight Location - Hotel in Cogne | Distance - 5 hours, 13 km, 1134m elevation gain | Meals - Breakfast, Dinner
