Châtillon in the Aosta Valley: Cycling Route and Culture
Accommodation in Châtillon
Châtillon on the Ciclovia dello Zerbion
The Ciclovia dello Zerbion is a cycling route about 52 kilometers long, passing through coniferous forests, meadows, villages, and alpine pastures. It runs through the upland areas of three municipalities: from Promiod in Châtillon via the Col di Joux in Saint-Vincent to the open landscapes of Emarèse. The route then reaches Saint-Vincent and ends in Châtillon. This provides a clear itinerary for planning your trip, with changing landscape areas along the way. The cycling route is a distinct focus for an itinerary that takes in coniferous forests, meadows, villages, and alpine pastures over a longer distance.
