Tips from the Community
The Arlaz Waterfall can be reached either from the Col d'Arlaz or from the Orbeillaz car park, following path number 31 which runs alongside the Rû d’Arlaz, a 14th-century artificial canal that channels the water of the Evançon stream and carries it to the municipalities of Challand, Emarese and Montjovet.

Grun is a small mountain hamlet in the municipality of Saint-Vincent, located at about 974 meters above sea level. This tiny village is located in a panoramic position, nestled on a sunny slope that dominates the valley floor and offers an enchanting view of the valley below and the surrounding mountains. Arriving in Grun means immersing yourself in an atmosphere of quiet and authenticity. Its stone and wood houses tell the story of a place that has managed to maintain its mountain character intact. A relaxing silence reigns here, broken only by the singing of birds and the rustling of the wind in the woods that surround the hamlet. Walking through the streets of Grun means discovering picturesque corners, flower-filled balconies and views that seem to have come out of a postcard. In summer, the surrounding meadows are colored with a thousand shades of green, while in winter the snow gives the landscape a very special charm. At the end of the village, there is the Sanctuary of Grun, dedicated to the Immaculate Conception of Mary, San Lorenzo and San Pietro in Vincoli. It was founded in 1727 by the Reverend Bréan. On the façade there is a large arch with a Madonna frescoed by the Aosta Valley painter Italo Mus (1892-1967). Inside there is a white marble altar. You can see a small choir located above the entrance.

Emarese is located on a beautiful plateau that is sunny all year round. The village has beautiful stone houses, many of which have been renovated respecting the original materials and architecture. On the walls of some of these houses, reproductions of period photos have been hung, showing the faces of the people who lived in the village in a past that is becoming increasingly distant.
