La Thuile: high-altitude swimming pool
In La Thuile, the high-altitude swimming pool offers one of the most invigorating experiences on the wild side of Mont Blanc, or more precisely when you get to Les Suches. And if you really don't feel like exploring the numerous trekking routes this part of the Aosta Valley has to offer, you could enjoy a delicious cut of meat at the renowned Punto G restaurant, famous for its Fiorentina steak and arrosticini, just a 15-minute chairlift ride away.
Ideal for those with limited mobility, this heated, cosy, and never-crowded pool is open only in the summer from the end of June. The standout feature of this high-altitude pool is its stunning location in one of La Thuile's most dramatic landscapes, situated at 2,080 metres. On clear days, you can enjoy breathtaking views not only of the Rutor and Mont Blanc but even the Matterhorn! Spanning 15 by 5 metres, this pool offers a unique blend of contrasts: the crisp mountain air against the warmth of the water, the lush green grass juxtaposed with the clear blue sky. An experience perfect for solo relaxation, a romantic escape or family fun – a picture-perfect holiday. Alternatively, immerse yourself in the raw, sublime beauty of nature and leave feeling rejuvenated.
You can purchase a return ticket to Les Suches with pool entry at the Punto Giallo point, conveniently located in the centre of La Thuile.
