Arthemisia – Rhêmes-Notre-Dame

Arthemisia is a guest house created from a historic chalet dating back to 1680, nestled in the small hamlet of Chanavey, in the municipality of Rhêmes-Notre-Dame, in the Aosta Valley. The property sits on the edge of the Gran Paradiso National Park, in a setting of rare Alpine beauty with views of the Granta Parey and the Grand Combin. It is an ideal choice for those seeking an authentic retreat, far from mass tourism, that retains the warmth of original wood and stone materials.

The rooms — single, double and triple — are all equipped with a private bathroom with shower, TV with satellite channels, safe and bed linen. Some feature a balcony, mountain views or access to a fully equipped kitchen. WiFi is free throughout the property and a private car park is available on site at no extra cost.

The location is particularly appreciated by snow lovers: direct access to the downhill ski slopes is just a few steps away, while the cross-country ski trails and family snow park are about one kilometre away. In summer the property is an ideal starting point for hiking and cycling, with trails connecting the village to the entire surrounding valley. Pets are welcome.

Location & what to see

Rhêmes-Notre-Dame is a small municipality in the Aosta Valley located in the valley of the same name, the Valle di Rhêmes, which opens to the south between the Valsavarenche and Valgrisenche valleys. At an altitude of around 1,720 metres above sea level, the village is made up of several traditional hamlets, including Chanavey, where Arthemisia is located. The hamlet retains the authentic character of Aosta Valley Alpine communities, with rural stone and wood architecture and a pace of life far removed from the bustle of large ski resorts.

The natural surroundings are of extraordinary quality: the valley borders directly on the Gran Paradiso National Park, Italy’s oldest national park, which is home to rich and easily observable wildlife — marmots, ibex and chamois are regular sightings. From the property, guests enjoy a direct view of the Granta Parey and the Grand Combin, while the local ski area allows access to the slopes on foot. In summer the valley transforms into a paradise for hikers, with the Alta Via n. 2 linking Rhêmes to the neighbouring valleys and the Ferrata Casimir attracting climbing enthusiasts.

Essential amenities — such as typical Aosta Valley restaurants — can be found within a few minutes, while the nearest railway station is in Arvier, about 18 km away by car.

Bar Ristorante La Cheminee — Typical restaurant reachable on foot in approximately eleven minutes from the property. 800 m
Chez Lydia — Local restaurant a few minutes by car in the Rhêmes valley. 1,3 km
Antico Forno Comunitario — Protected historic site bearing witness to the rural traditions of the local community. 2,7 km
Parco Nazionale del Gran Paradiso — Italy's oldest national park, habitat of ibex and golden eagles. 11 km
