Basking in the sun all day long thanks to its fortunate position, the cottage towers over the Cogne valley and stream. Surrounded by its own lawn which affords remarkable views in all directions, the house is a good starting point for many walks and excursions to the National Park of Gran Paradiso, famous for the beauty and wealth and of its mountain habitat and fauna. Excursions on horseback through pastures and ravines, with pleasant stops at mountain huts for a plate of polenta (the celebrated north-Italian corn-meal speciality) are also possible.
In the winter, on the other hand, you can leave the house, skis directly under your feet, and reach the 80 kilometres of cross-country ski tracks for which this valley has attained world-wide fame. Slopes for downhill skiing, ski lifts and a skiing area specially for children are also available nearby. Further afield, children and grown-ups alike can rejoice in the vast enchanting panorama of the Pratone di Sant’Orso recreational park. Finally, the beautiful slopes of Pila are within easy reach of the house.
PLEASE NOTE: IT IS ALSO POSSIBLE TO RENT THE APARTMENT DIRECTLY ABOVE THIS ONE (REFERENCE N. 165685). THE WHOLE CHALET (TWO INDEPENDENT FLATS) SLEEPS A TOTAL OF 8 TO 9 PEOPLE.
