Description of the route

The excursion has as its starting point the parking lot located in the Chenaux hamlet of Pollein. To reach the place of departure if coming from Aosta - Plan Félinaz you must turn right immediately after the white bridge over the stream at the entrance of the village and follow the signs for Chenaux. Go up along a straight along the stream for about 500 meters until you reach the parking lot next to the fountain. The sign with indication of the Cammino Balteo is in that point and along the route you must always follow this indication, it is in fact a stretch of the Cammino Balteo of Aosta Valley.
Leaving the car park, take the road on the right, slightly downhill. The view is wide on the “Plaine” of Aosta and on the Gran San Bernardo valley. After a few minutes, turn right on a dirt road. The itinerary goes through a broad-leaved forest, sometimes sunny and sometimes in shadow, crossing path 1 uphill.

At the bend, take the downhill path towards Château. The return is scheduled on the same path. If you like, you can continue further, always following the signpost of the Cammino Balteo.
