Cogne

Cogne has served as an iron-mining centre in the Aosta Valley since the 17th century. Set in the Val di Cogne, it lies within Gran Paradiso National Park, where the Grand Eyvia stream runs through a broad Alpine valley below the Gran Paradiso massif. The former magnetite mines are integral to the town’s industrial story and recall an era when extraction shaped local employment. Cogne is also known for dentelles de Cogne, a traditional bobbin lace worked on a distinctive curved pillow, while the Prato di Sant’Orso meadow gives the settlement an unusually open centre.
