Ollomont
You’ll find us in Ollomont,
green and lots of flowers in summer, covered under
snow during the winter!
Ollomont is a small village in the Aosta Valley at
1400m, in the Valpelline Valley, at 18km from Aosta
...Because of its proximity to the centre of the Region
and to Aosta, Ollomont is a strategic location for those
who wants to sojourn in a quiet place and, at the
same time, to be able to quickly reach the other
valleys of Val d’Aosta.
Nature offers plenty of amusements! There are lots of
walks to do, for the experts and principiants alike; in an hour
you get to the wonderful Valley of By, from where you
can reach various mountain huts, and the more
experts can do the Grand Combin Tour and the Alta
Via 1.
The landscape is the real attraction of the spot, with
its incredible colours and its animals: deer, roe deer,
rock goats, marmots, foxes, hares!
During the winter you can go snow shoeing, cross
country skiing ( lighted track at night), and for the
smaller ones there is a ski slope and a snow park!
Ollomont also offers the opportunity to get closer to
the climbing world. Experts can climb the ice falls, with
the alpine guides of Valpelline.
This is a place where you get renewed through nature
and where you take some time to listen to the silence.
Sports
Ollomont is perfect for sports enthusiasts
in the mountains and the experts of "Espri Sarvadzo" know it

valley and providing you with the tools to do it: Trekking

Grimpe!), Mountain biking (Espri Sarvadzo performs

mountain boots to E-Bikes!)

strong emotions for ice climbers, who can
