A beauty. Walking through the falls has been quite an experience. Kids will love it. The full walk stretches through the upper lake and gets to the root of the glacier. It takes 3 hours in total. Around 1000m from bottom to the top. Worth it.
Amazing experience when you arrive at the third waterfall... 1.30 to 2 hours of hiking if you stop at each waterfall to take a photo :) The parking was a paid parking lot with 5 euros per day price but the machine was not working so no one paid! The bar was closed too when we arrived at the parking. But it was a wonderful experience.
Relatively easy walk to get to the falls, culminating with a quite spectacular bridge that crosses the water. It's worth closing the path down with the ring path so as to avoid doing the same way twice
Worth the hike to the third waterfall. Stunning views. Lots of places to stop and rest if needed. Options for looping back down the other side. Loved it
This trail, that crosses Rutor falls is just wonderful. Really astonishing, impressive and clean nature plus the hike is very easy. It crosses 3 falls and there are plenty options to go such as all the way up to Rifugio Albert Deffeyes. On this route after the amazing falls you will find a beautiful green and moist valley. After that, it goes up another 346 meters and you can have a great view to Mont Blanc and many glaciers and lakes near by. It's a very special hike in Aosta Valley. Absolutely recommended if you search for something technically feasible and a rich, fascinating environment as well.
One of the best footpath that you can do in La Thuile area, starting from la Joux the road is not so difficult, you don't need to be an expert climber but bring with you some water and a raincoat. The water shows is simply amazing especially at the 3rd waterfall. Recommended 👍👍👍
Really amazing. The falls are impressive. The hiking need to be prepared because is not so easy for the length and for the gradient. I suggest to take some water with you because till to the refuge is not possible to found any fountain. Take time to climb till the Deffeys refuge will pay you about the fatigue and the high gradient.
Incredible place after a good climb !

Beautiful road! Not very high, but very beautiful. The Little St Bernard Pass (Italian: Colle del Piccolo San Bernardo) is a mountain pass in the Alps on the France–Italy border. Its saddle is at 2188 metres above sea level. It is located between Savoie, France, and Aosta Valley, Italy, to the south of the Mont Blanc Massif, exactly on the main alpine watershed.
Breathtaking mountain pass between Italy and France with a lake nearby ... great for a walk or hiking if weather is on your side
Empty and quiet as it closed earlier in the month we think. But beautiful with great views and lots of history - prehistory, Roman, medieval, WW2. Even great on a rainy day.
I very blessed full with this random tour and find great spot like Petit st Bernard. Must stop here and enjoy their coffee
Beautiful mountain pass on the French - Italian border with a good souvenier store.
Ancient old glacier sphere Valley. Wind blows through the majestic landscape. It is a border between Italy and France where you can enjoy a quiet scenery as there are not many tourists. Winter will be crowded with many skiers.
Most wonderful scenic road to crossing border between Italy and France. Once in a lifetime, that car from Bangkok can drive to here.
One of my favorite places to leave the car and go on a nice hike, you choose the time frame, loads of possibilities.

Slide 1 of 8
We really enjoyed the wonderful wildflowers. Only had about 20 minutes to explore. In the summer the garden closes at 18:00. So visit early enough to spend at least an hour roaming around.
I was pretty unimpressed by this garden. No one was at the gate when we entered (we could hear people eating lunch in the house) so we wandered around on our own. There were lots of signs — more signs than plants actually. The garden was pretty, and laid out on the mountain side, with a couple of benches and a couple of tiny pools made by springs. It took maybe 10 minutes to wander around. Perhaps you need to be a botanist to appreciate it. As we left, a girl ran to the gate and charged us 18 euros. This felt very cheeky, as the garden is not good value for money, and at least a small reduction in price would have been fairer. We crossed the road to the alpine meadow opposite, which is free, and very pretty.
Cool place, friendly gardeners. Would have been helpful with some more information in english.
Amazon garden with Rhonda of tipe of alpine flora.
It was a beautiful trip in northern Italy coming from the French town of Chamonix take one hour & 30 men's
all kind of flowers from all around the world stunning place
Simply beautiful!

We rented ski's for our 2 children for the week and also a board and boots for an afternoon. Staff were very friendly and efficient. very happy to recommend.
Good selection of skis from basic to advanced. What’s makes this ship the best is the staff, super helpful and nice.

Hired skis for 3 days. Really efficient and very pleasant. Well organised. Skis looked new and I loved them. Good value too. Highly recommended.

(Translated by Google) SA. 13.01.24 Today began in a truly spectacular way! At the La Thuile library I had the pleasure of meeting the kindness of Mrs. Monica who gave me the privilege of a mini tour among the volumes and sections dedicated to the most attentive "visitors". I was particularly enthusiastic about the area dedicated to German literature and the one specific to the Nordic sphere. Furthermore, among the various services offered, I took advantage of it to print documents that needed a paper "review". Happy with such a "crunchy" surprise I will certainly return because the written page "fills" me with immenseness and meeting Beautiful Souls with a passion for books is a gift to be savored with all due gratitude. Thanks Monica. 😊 Teresa Necchi (Original) SA. 13.01.24 È iniziata davvero in modo spettacolare la giornata odierna! Alla biblioteca di La Thuile ho avuto il piacere di conoscere la gentilezza della sig.ra Monica che mi ha privilegiata di un mini tour tra i volumi e le sezioni dedicate ai "visitatori" più attenti. In modo particolare mi ha entusiasmato l'area predisposta alla letteratura Tedesca e quella specifica per la sfera Nordica. Inoltre, tra i vari servizi offerti, ne ho approfittato per la stampa di documenti che necessitavano di una "revisione" cartacea. Contenta di una tale "croccante" sorpresa ci ritornerò di sicuro perché la pagina scritta mi "riempie" d'immenso ed incontrare Anime Belle con la passione per i libri è un regalo da assaporare con tutta la dovuta riconoscenza. Grazie Monica. 😊 Teresa Necchi
(Translated by Google) The library is nice and is suitable for La Thuile, but I have one complaint: add some signs displaying a rule of silence out of respect for those who study/work and, if necessary, speak softly. Today, the afternoon of December 27th, it was difficult to study due to several noises from children playing inside the library and I left before closing due to difficulty concentrating (Original) La biblioteca è carina ed è adatta per La Thuile, ma avrei una lamentela: aggiungere dei cartelli che espongono una regola di silenzio per rispetto a chi studia/lavora e, se bisogno, parlare a sottovoce. Oggi, pomeriggio 27 dicembre, era difficile studiare per diversi schiamazzi da bambini che giocavano all'interno della biblioteca e me ne sono andato prima della chiusura per difficoltà di concentrazione
(Translated by Google) Excellent service, the lady librarian is very kind, the offer is rich and the display of books is very well organized with suggestions and themed proposals (Original) Servizio ottimo, la signora bibliotecaria è gentilissima, l’offerta è ricca e l’esposizione dei libri molto ben organizzata con anche suggerimenti e proposte a tema

Beautiful traditional local Italian food and wine. Service was excellent too and well priced.
Nice service but slow and oily food. Little disappointing
Very nice place, with fresh dish and warm people!
(Translated by Google) We found this place through The Fork (an app that we use very often) and I must say that it is unlikely to go wrong. The food is really excellent and of good quality. Friendly and welcoming staff. The place is very beautiful and characteristic. We took: 2 starters 2 first courses 2 desserts 5 waters and a coke Total €84. For those who use The Fork app, this restaurant accepts payments with Yums and payments via The Fork app! We had a €50 discount and we used it. We will definitely be back (Original) Abbiamo trovato questo locale tramite The Fork (app che usiamo molto spesso) e devo dire che difficilmente sbaglia. Il cibo è davvero ottimo e di qualità. Personale gentile e accogliente. Il locale è molto bello e caratteristico. Abbiamo preso: 2 antipasti 2 primi 2 dolci 5 acque ed una coca cola Totale 84€. Per chi usa l'app The Fork, questo ristorante accetta i pagamenti con gli Yums e pagamenti tramite l'app di The Fork! Noi avevamo 50€ di sconto e l'abbiamo usato. Ci torneremo sicuramente
(Translated by Google) Very welcoming and characteristic place with friendly and helpful staff. Great for a break after a track. Excellent food and good selection of wines. The only flaw is the wait for the dishes which do not allow full points (Original) Posto molto accogliente e caratteristico con staff cortese e disponibile. Ottimo per una pausa dopo una pista. Cibo ottimo e buona selezione di vini. Unica pecca l’attesa per i piatti che non permettono punteggio pieno
(Translated by Google) On 10/18/2021 we were lucky to have dinner in this restaurant, ample parking, location created from a real and functional mill. We are welcomed by the owner, a very kind person who makes us sit in one of the lounges, where we are served by two very friendly waitresses, we order two nests of polenta with exceptional fondue, a very generous platter of cold cuts and cheeses, two bottles of water and two coffee. Price 41 euros then there is the thefork booking discount. Recommended for couples, friends and family. I must add that after having been to dinner for 5 evenings, Adriano made me cry, but not for the price which was always much more than reasonable, he surpassed himself by offering me a free dinner of buffalo mozzarella, raw ham and Valle d'Aosta salami, all unsurpassed. To him, his very kind wife and his very nice waitress, my most sincere compliments and a huge hug (Original) Il 18/10/2021 siamo andati a fortuna a cenare in questo ristorante, parcheggio ampio, location ricavata da un vero e funzionale mulino. Veniamo accolti dal proprietario, una persona gentilissima che ci fa accomodare in uno dei saloni, dove veniamo serviti da due cameriere molto cordiali, ordiniamo due nidi di polenta con fonduta eccezionali, un tagliere di salumi e formaggi molto abbondante, due bottiglie di acqua e due caffè. Prezzo 41 euro poi c'è lo sconto prenotazione thefork. Consigliato per coppie, amici e famiglia. Devo aggiungere che dopo essere stato a cena per 5 sere, Adriano mi ha fatto piangere, ma non per il prezzo che è stato sempre molto più che contenuto, si è superato mi ha offerto gratuitamente una cena a base di mozzarelle di bufale, prosciutto crudo e salame valdostano tutto insuperabile. A lui a sua gentilissima moglie e la sua simpaticissima cameriera i miei più sinceri complimenti ed un grandissimo abbraccio
(Translated by Google) Very nice restaurant, really excellent and refined dishes, very kind staff and honest prices. Really recommended! (Original) Ristorante molto carino, piatti davvero ottimi e ricercati, personale molto gentile e prezzi onesti. Davvero consigliato!
(Translated by Google) A good lunch, a characteristic place created from the renovation of an old mill, preserving many of its peculiarities. From the wheel moved by water, to the millstones, to the bread oven, to the pastry. Congratulations to the owner for his passion and kindness. (Original) Un buon pranzo, locale caratteristico ricavato dalla ristrutturazione di un vecchio mulino conservandone tante peculiarità.

Lovely town along a roaring glacial river with lots of shops and restaurants.
Mountain village, what you want is what you get.
(Translated by Google) La Thuile is a pretty little village at an altitude of 1,400 meters and the last Italian station before the Petit Saint Bernard pass and the French border. It is a very popular resort in winter, with easy slopes. Very pleasant even in summer with hikes and walks, lasting two to three hours. (Original) La Thuile est un joli petit village à 1.400 mètres d'altitude et dernière station italienne avant le col du petit Saint Bernard et la frontière française. C'est une station très prisée en hiver, avec des pistes faciles. Très agréable même en été avec des randonnées et promenades, d'une durée de deux à trois heures.
(Translated by Google) Charming village with nice caravan parks and an equipped rest area. Paid bus for Curmayer, around €2.20 each, children under 6 years old do not pay. Free bus to the La Joux waterfalls. Chair lift also equipped for transporting bikes and baskets for four-legged friends. And much more...

La ragazza che lavora nell’ufficio è preparata e disponibile. Consiglio un passaggio prima di iniziare la vacanza.
(Translated by Google) Small but very characteristic town. 5 minutes just outside the center you will find a large car park for cars and campers that runs along the stream. From there a panoramic route starts from which you can admire the river bed on one side and the town on the other. Just past the car park located in front of Th planibel, hidden in the pine forest is a very nice park with a picnic area and barbecue. Several bridges and some points where adults and children can dip their feet... the water is freezing but good for circulation and relieving tiredness after the various hikes. (Original) Paese piccolo ma molto caratteristico. 5 min appena fuori dal centro trovate un parcheggio ampio x auto e camper che costeggia il ruscello. Da lì parte un percorso panoramico dal quale potete ammirare il letto del fiume da una parte e il paese dall'altra. Appena superato il parcheggio posizionato di fronte al Th planibel, nascosto nella pineta un parco con area pic nic e barbecue molto carino. Diversi ponticelli e alcuni punti dove adulti e bambini possono immergere i piedi.. l'acqua è gelida ma un toccasana per circolazione e alleviare la stanchezza dopo le varie scarpinate.
