Description

A loop trail in the Champorcher valley following the route of a procession local communities have renewed each summer for hundreds of years. From Dondena parking, we climb through alpine pastures to Lac Miserin and the historic Sanctuary of Notre Dame des Neiges, where pilgrims have gathered since the 17th century. The path traces centuries of footsteps, connecting high-altitude springs, stone chapels, and the crystalline lake that reflects the surrounding peaks. This moderate day hike combines walking with cultural immersion. You'll pass weathered wayside shrines, cross streams fed by snowmelt, and reach the sanctuary perched at over 2,500 meters. The route reveals how faith and landscape shaped mountain life in Valle d'Aosta, with views extending across the Parco Naturale Mont Avic. The circular format returns you to the valley floor, completing the same geographic and spiritual circuit that local processions trace each summer. A trek through untouched nature, water, and old devotion.
