THE HISTORY

Even if in 1955 the theme of environmental sustainability was not yet a popular concept, the village of Chamois did not succumb to the lure of road traffic and chose the cable car as a means of connecting the village with the valley. The cable car was a fast and direct means of transport which at the same time avoided the construction of roads and consequently the emissions of harmful gases and traffic noise. Although the descriptions of travelers at the beginning of the century already identified in the construction of a carriage road the success factor for the tourist future of the "splendid health resort", as reported by Sylvain Lucat in 1908, the population of Chamois did not choose this solution which would necessarily have modified the surrounding landscape. The presence of the cable car has in fact characterized the town planning choices of the place: the small stone streets that run between the renovated houses have remained unchanged, preserving the charm of the area unchanged. Since then, various modernizations have been carried out to make the cable car safe and comfortable. Since 2001, the cableway has been joined by a cableway for the transport of bulky and heavy goods and objects.

CHAMOIS

Valle d'Aosta

The journey by cable car is always an emotion: you fly over the Valtournenche up to a height of 250 meters from the ground, and you can frequently admire the chamois from above grazing placidly among the grassy ledges and along the steep mule track that reaches from Buisson. in Chamois. In the capital, a typical mountain village, stands the bell tower of the parish church while there are numerous pretty chapels in the various hamlets. From the inhabited area of Chamois it is also possible to go up further with the chairlifts and reach places such as Lake Lod where there are a picnic area and refreshment points, for a pleasant stop or as a starting point for various excursions or , in winter, to reach the ski slopes.
