Aosta Valley
The project “Gran Balconata del Cervino” (Great Balcony of the Matterhorn) was thought out to promote immersive experiences that offer tourists the chance to discover and enjoy the area around central Valtournenche, in the Aosta Valley.
Here, tourism seeks to provide ways of enjoying the mountains with a multisensory approach, where sounds, colours and fragrances blend to embed the memory of this experience full of meaning making it unforgettable.
The initiative owes its success to a network of professionals who are capable of grasping the full nuances of a 360-degree journey of discovery that unfolds in a unique area of outstanding natural beauty.

results from centuries of adaptation on both sides. This quest for symbiosis has established an ecosystem in which everything – water, trees, pastures, people and animals – plays a well-defined role in making it possible to live in apparently hostile lands.
This is a journey of discovery that should be savoured slowly, a journey enriched by tales of those who live their daily lives here. Taste the flavours of the mountains and immerse yourself in their history – it’s sure to be an experience you’ll never forget.
