Discover Alone: mountain panoramas, trails and culture
Accommodation in Alone
Church and customs
The parish church of Sant'Andrea contains a 14th-century rood cross, a statue of Saint Anthony the Abbot and a silver reliquary from the 15th century. The cross, saint's statue and reliquary each provide the church interior with its own historical point of reference.
According to tradition, the historic Coumba-Frèida Carnival is connected with Napoleon and his troops passing over the Great St Bernard Pass in May 1800.
At the historic Coumba-Frèida Carnival, a bear symbolises the beginning of spring. The motif connects the custom with the changing of the seasons.
During the Coumba-Frèida Carnival procession, the carnival figures enter the homes of local families, dance in streets and squares, and eat and drink whatever is offered to them. The proceedings therefore take place both in private homes and in public spaces.
Mountain views and trails
From the summit of Mont Saron, there is a panoramic view over the Gran San Bernardo Valley and the surrounding mountains. The view thus encompasses both the valley and the mountain landscape around the summit.
The Ru d'Allein walking trail is considered suitable for beginners and experienced hikers. The Ru d'Allein runs through forests and clearings and combines nature with cultural traditions. Planning a walk therefore focuses on different levels of experience and changing landscapes.
The circular hiking itinerary to Dortoir Baravex leads along the slopes of Mont Saron through meadows and forests. The trail is therefore characterised by two clearly named types of landscape: open grazing areas and wooded sections. For personal tour planning, this walking trail thus differs in form from the circular hiking itinerary to Dortoir Baravex.
