About the home

Vieille Mairie is an apartment located in the pretty Italian town of Valtournenche. Valtournenche is the perfect place to stay if you don’t want to be in the middle of the hustle and bustle but do want to have access to fantastic skiing or hiking whilst mingling with the friendly locals. You are just minutes from the slopes and a free bus will collect you outside the apartment ready to deliver you to endless wide open pistes.

During the winter not only does Valtournenche offer amazing snow covered scenes, but you can also drink hot chocolate in the ‘cioccolateria’, buy fresh bread from the 'panetteria' and warm yourself through with a ‘vin brule’ from one of the bars. There are various different ski regions to explore, including Zermatt for those looking for more challenging terrain, as well as ice skating in Cervinia, swimming, trips to Aosta, the list is endless.

In the summer the views of the mountains are spectacular whilst the houses look so pretty adorned with bright red geraniums. Again there are many things to do including kayaking, horse riding, visiting the numerous castles and churches in the area, Aosta, golf, swimming, walking, mountain biking, having a spa, playing tennis and if you are having withdrawal symptoms, you can even ski on the glacier in Cervinia!

We hope you enjoy your visit ...

The North West Italy / Aosta Valley region

The sheltered coast of this area – the Italian Riviera - offers a laid-back atmosphere and some of Italy’s finest beaches as well as warm weather all year around. The scenery is dramatic, with mountains dropping straight down to the sea. The area has a traditional link to the sea, Genoa being the home of Christopher Columbus and still the country’s largest port. The untouched North West of Italy offers fantastic skiing on the Alps, playing host to the 2006 Winter Olympics. Peaks such as Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn gradually give way to rolling green pine forests at their feet. The area’s climate and temperament owe much to neighbouring Switzerland, with excellent cheese and truffles on the menu locally....

The Valtournenche area

Some of Europe’s highest-altitude skiing is possible year-round in this valley dominated by the 4478m Matterhorn, described by English poet Byron as ‘Europe’s noble rock’.

There are many ski areas available to you whilst at Valtournenche. There’s Valtournenche (1524m), Breuil-Cervinia (2050m) where you can ski to Zermatt in Switzerland. Smaller skiing areas include Antey-St-Andre (1080m), La Magdeleine (1644m), Chamois and Torgnon. If you fancy a drive and to go somewhere totally different, Courmayeur is only 45 minutes away.

Valtournenche is easily accessible. It is served by the A5 Turin-Aosta motorway. You get off at
Chatillon/Saint-Vincent and continue for 28km along the mountain road towards Cervinia.
Valtournenche is 19km after Chatillon and 9km before Cervinia.
The sign posts can be a little misleading as you will see a sign for Valtournenche some distance
before the town. This sign indicates that you are entering the municipality of Valtournenche the
town is a further 5 minutes up the road.
Once you have entered Valtournenche it is best to look out for the following landmarks:
- On the right hand side you will see a green neon cross which is the pharmacy
- Keep going up the hill and you will see Pellisier on the left hand side
- Keep going up the hill and you will see the Chocolate shop on the left hand side
- Keep going up the hill and you will see a fruit and vegetable shop on the right
- Vieille Mairie is on the right hand bend next to a strange shop called ‘Bazar’
If you reach the church you have gone too far.
You can park your car around the back of the apartment. Turn right after the apartment and our
parking spot is number 3. If it is covered in snow then there is a shovel in the shed inside the
courtyard. If the gate is locked then reach around and press the light switch which also activates the
gate.
The door to our apartment is next to the Bazar shop. If you are stood in front of Bazar then our door

It is also possible to drive using the Euro Tunnel and travelling through Monte Bianco.

We recommend that you utilise a Sat Nav system for directions, the routes from each airport are extremely easy, but even easier when guided by a navigation system.

“Convenient and comfortable base for skiing” this is a really cosy and well furnished apartment right in the middle of Valtournenche. 5 of us stayed here for a week while skiing in Cervinia and it was ideal for this purpose. Plenty of space for... more
