Visit of Gressoney-Saint-Jean<\/h2>\n

The Gressoney Valley<\/strong> was settled during the Middle Ages by a population of Germanic origins: the Walser<\/strong>. Here you can enjoy a traditional architecture made by typical wooden stadel and hear speaking Germanic dialects.<\/p>\n

Gressoney-Saint-Jean<\/strong> is situated in a particularly interesting area due to its view of impressive mountain massif and the Lyskamm glacier. In the center of the village there is the picturesque Lake Gover<\/strong> whose waters are a beautiful emerald green and reflect the surrounding, majestic summits.<\/p>\n

It has a characteristic historic center and the houses are grouped together around the Saint John the Baptist parish Church<\/strong> built in 1725 on a previous building dating from 1515.<\/p>\n

Savoy Castle and Queen Margherita<\/h2>\n

This wonderful area was beloved also by Queen Margherita of Savoy, who built in Gressoney her summer residence, the Savoy Castle<\/a><\/strong>.
\nThe castle, designed by architect Emilio Stramucci in neogothic style has a fairy appearance and overlooks the Mount Rosa glacier.
\nThe castle is also surrounded by a beautiful park with a botanic garden<\/strong> hosting alpine flora.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Queens Margherita of Savoy’s interest the village knew a golden period, and today has become one of the most appreciated vacation resorts in the Alps.<\/p>\n

Gressoney-La-Trinit\u00e9<\/h2>\n

Gressoney-La-Trinit\u00e9<\/strong>, is the last village at the head of the Gressoney Valley. It is situated at an altitude of 1627 meters in a vast flatland dominated by the Lyskamm glacier of the impressive Monte Rosa massif<\/strong>. The village is famous for winter sports, since it belongs to the Monterosa Ski<\/strong> area which is one of the largest in the Alps.<\/p>\n

The village has also an interesting Walser Museum<\/strong> that leads its guests on a journey to discover the Walser culture<\/strong>. Through the visit of two buildings: an old rural house from the 18th century and the house-museum with permanent exhibitions, the visitors can breathe the authentic atmosphere of a Walser home. The museum features the \u201cWohngade\u201d, which was the very heart of the working activity of the inhabitants, with one part used as a shelter for the animals and the other for the family while in the rooms of a \u201cstadel\u201d, the typical Walser house, visitor can visit a permanent exhibition about Monte Rosa and the Gressoney’s traditional costume.<\/p>\n
