The small community of Chamois, located 1800 meters above sea level in the sunny, natural area of the Valtournenche valley, protects the purity of the unpolluted mountain. The only ways to get to the hamlet are via cable car, which departs from Buisson, or by using a small airport—the oldest in Italy—for helicopters or ultralight aircraft. In good weather, it is feasible to reach Chamois by foot via the old mule path that runs between the two towns and features 93 hairpin turns.
The perfect location to enjoy private holidays while being surrounded by nature and the ruggedness of the mountain. Over time, the community has maintained the traditional mountain village characteristics, including the classic wood and stone chalets, narrow cobblestone alleys, and old barns. A place to calm down, appreciate life and the beauty of nature and be mindful of and respectful of the environment, you may breathe in the ambiance of bygone eras here.
A place that is suited for everyone and for those seeking a distinctive setting, away from the everyday grind.
