Snow shoes in Brusson: 10 routes suitable for everyone

Ten new tracks of easy and medium difficulty to discover in the heart of the Ayas Valley

A nice signage will lead you along the paths of Brusson, between dense woods and snowy meadows in winter and expanses of green pastures and fragrant flowers in summer ...
Following the blue arrow, you can walk on simple paths in unspoiled nature and admire many species of local fauna: it is not a coincidence, in fact, that the itineraries are represented by an animal species that lives in these areas and that perhaps, with a little luck , you will meet during your excursion!

Here is the list of trails that we invite you to take also in the company of your children who will love the peace of the forest and its silence ...

Traditional wooden building

Anonimo, - 24-08-2020

Well-organised and kind staff; clean and comfortable rooms; excellent breakfast with a great choice of handmade cakes, fresh croissants, bread and jams. The hotel is in a traditional wooden building, which is well-maintained. The bedroom that we booked had a private bathroom and gave us access to the back garden. Both the bedroom and the bathroom were very clean.

Really convenient location; easily accessible car parking; excellent breakfast and snacks, particularly given the current situation with Covid; very friendly and helpful staff; comfortable, well-lit rooms with all expected amenities, the Wi-Fi was strong. Overall good value.

Excellent

Antonio - 16-07-2020

Excellent combination of friendly approach and safety policy in Corona time. Excellent breakfast with friendly staff, handmade cakes and wonderful terrace surrounded by mountains and meadows. Customer oriented support was always demonstrated at the reception. If it is for hiking, skating o just taking a break

Hotel Santa San

j - gb - 03-03-2020

Friendly service minded staff and the small hotel is located in a nice village. Parking right outside the hotel made the transport to the ski lifts in Champoluc (good parking area next to the ski lift) convenient. Antagnod is a small village with only a few restaurants. Their popularity could make reservations difficult, but Santa San staff will offer their support.
