Issime

The Lys stream defines the setting of Issime — in the narrow Valle del Lys, it has concentrated homes, roads and cultivated plots on the valley floor beneath steep Alpine slopes. This Aosta Valley comune stands in the Italian Alps along the valley leading towards the Monte Rosa massif and the Dora Baltea. Issime belongs to the Walser cultural area, whose communities brought a Germanic linguistic and architectural tradition to these high valleys. Traditional stone-and-timber rural buildings, hay barns and balconies recall a life long shaped by mountain farming and seasonal movement to higher pastures.
