Mont Blanc - La Thuile

Description

Visiting this charming touristic location, do not miss to see some towns, such as: Pré-Saint-Didier
and have a look at the huge waterfall near the hot water spring (30°C). It was an important military station
along the Roman road to Gaul and now its a nice village at 1000m ideal for tranquil holidays and starting point for excursions around the Mont Blanc.
Courmayeur (1224m) small mountaineering capital at the foot of the Mont Blanc. In the old centre a nice shopping area, charming cafés, restaurants and the parish church with the Romanesque bell-tower.
Behind the church you will find the House of the Guides with the Duca degli Abruzzi Alpine Museum.
Only a few km from Courmayeur, at La Palud, you can experience the thrill of crossing Mont Blanc with the Courmayeur-Chamonix cable car, divided into 6 stages.
Thanks to its strategic position, La Thuile has always been considered an important route, particularly towards France through the ancient Roman way to Gaul at the Little Saint Bernard pass first, and then towards the central valley thanks to the alternative way through the Saint Charles Pass.
