Located at the entrance of the village of Pontboset the “Lou créton di lui” youth hostel was originally an old parish church dating back to1600, recently renovated taking particular care over the original architecture.
In the place in which it stood, in the past century in times of famine, wolves in search of prey were spotted, and this is where the “lou creton di lui” gets its name, meaning “the wolf ridge”.
The building is located close to the town hall opposite the parish church of San Grato. The main façade opens onto the pretty square where the old district begins, characterised by its traditional Valle d’Aosta architecture (Rascard buildings, Grenze, stone fountains).
The structure is surrounded by century-old chestnut trees creating a peaceful atmosphere with occasional bursts of merriment during tourist events organised throughout the year.

Take the Pont-Saint-Martin motorway exit (Turin-Aosta motorway).
Follow the State Road no. 26 in the direction of Aosta and after passing through the municipality of Bard, and turn left at the roundabout (indications for the Valle di Champorcher).
After passing through the built-up area of the municipality of Hône, you reach the regional road to Champorcher. Continue on this road for around 7km.
