The activities

The extraordinary natural resources of the Mont Avic Park are a continual invitation to try the numerous activities (for all ages and for all tastes). Movement here is completely natural. No cars, no equipment, just your own feet stepping lightly on a hundred different paths, and when there’s enough snow, skis or snowshoes are enough. Just outside the hotel you can choose your path, from the easiest to the more difficult, towards the lakes and the mountain peaks. For those who love fly fishing, the Chalamy river reserve is just a short distance away. At Hotel Parc Mont Avic there is an eco-compatible activity in harmony with nature for every season.

Sports Fishing

For the pleasure of fly fishermen, the reserve is situated far from the road and any habitation in the enchanting Mont Avic Natural Park, the Valle d’Aosta’s first natural park. The waters of the Chalamy River are always crystal clear and the fish completely wild.

The reserve contains two stretches of river – one no-kill (catch and release) and one capture (catch and keep).

Apply directly to the reception for permits.
