Gressoney-Saint-Jean

Built around the alpine pastures of the upper Lys Valley, Gressoney-Saint-Jean grew into a year-round mountain resort and a centre of Walser culture. The Lys River runs through this part of the Aosta Valley beneath the Monte Rosa massif, whose high peaks shape the settlement’s alpine setting. Wooden houses, local dialect traditions and cuisine reflect the heritage of Walser communities that settled these valleys from the Middle Ages. Above the village stands Castel Savoia, the early-20th-century residence commissioned by Queen Margherita of Savoy.
