Chamois

Few settlements in the Aosta Valley have a history as closely tied to roadless Alpine life as Chamois. Set at 1,815 metres on a terrace above the Valtournenche, this small comune is Italy’s only municipality without a road connection. Arrival is by cable car from Buisson or on foot, a practical tradition that has kept ordinary traffic out of the village and shaped its unhurried rhythm. The surrounding Italian Alps support hiking in summer and winter sports when snow arrives, while the stone-and-wood buildings reflect the building traditions of this high mountain region.
