Trekking in La Thuile in ancient history
When nature and culture converge
Alongside its natural beauty, La Thuile offers a rich cultural heritage. The traces left by the various populations who have inhabited this borderland over the centuries create an open-air museum of sorts. This trek through ancient history leads you to the Little St. Bernard Pass, a 2-kilometre loop featuring small villages, ancient astronomical calendars, remnants of Celtic cults, old Roman mansiones, sacred columns, mediaeval hospices and traces of wars and historic conflicts. Beyond these landmarks, La Thuile itself serves as an open-air museum, encompassing ancient archaeological sites, historic mines and gardens.
