Ayas Alpine Guides Festival: Tradition, Passion, and Spectacle in the Heart of Aosta Valley

Ayas Alpine Guides Festival: Tradition, Passion, and Spectacle in the Heart of Aosta Valley

On August 15th, Champoluc and Antagnod honor the Alpine Guides with parades, breathtaking displays, and local folklore

Every August 15th, the Aosta Valley pays tribute to its Alpine Guides, guardians of tradition and masters of the mountains. In Ayas, between Champoluc and Antagnod, the festival transforms into a vibrant celebration of history and emotion.
 

The day begins with a mass, followed by performances by the children of the folkloric group “Li Tsoque d’Ayas enfants”, dancing in their tiny wooden clogs and bringing old rhythms and genuine smiles to life.
 

The Guides, symbols of courage and skill, demonstrate their techniques by descending from the bell tower and marching in uniform through the village streets, accompanied by the Filarmonica di Verrès. The evening culminates at the Monterosa Terme Auditorium with the Guides’ presentation, the K2 evening with Simone Origone, and highlights from last season.
 

The Ayas Alpine Guides Festival is more than a celebration: it’s an invitation to immerse yourself in the history, passion, and authentic spirit of our mountains.

All the comfort you need when enjoying this charming town.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Hotel L'Aiglon. Firstly the staff were so pleasant and helpful. The room was fine, next time we'd opt for one with a balcony! Comfortable bed, great shower. Plenty of storage and hooks for all our ski gear! Breakfast was in a lovely sunny room and there was plenty of choice for all nationalities. It's a slow 10 minute walk to the gondola, we opted for storing our gear there, although you can use the hotel's. Wellness centre was a perfect end to the days skiing.Definitely recommend and we'll be back!

Happy Vacation in Hotel L'Aiglon.

Stayed in Hotel L'Aiglon for 3 nights earlier this week. Great place to stay. Rooms were really comfortable and plenty of space and really clean. We received a really warm welcome on arrival and right throughout our stay. Breakfast was included in the price. Food was great - loads of variety and really healthy food to prepare us for the day ahead. Would love to return and stay here again in the future.
