Chambres d’Hotes Rue Saint Bernard is located in Hameau Proussaz, a small hamlet in the municipality of Rhemes-Saint-Georges, in the Aosta Valley, at an altitude of 1,464 metres. The village of Proussaz is nestled in the Rhêmes Valley, one of the Aosta Valley’s side valleys least touched by mass tourism, making it a rare and precious pocket of tranquillity within the Italian alpine landscape.
The property stands on the border of the Gran Paradiso National Park — Italy’s first national park, established in 1922 — where ibex, chamois, marmots and golden eagles can be spotted in their natural habitat. From the village, hiking trails of varying difficulty set off in all directions, suitable for both experienced hikers and families, and in winter some routes become snowshoe itineraries. About 7 km away lies Rhêmes-Notre-Dame, the valley’s terminus, with ski lifts for alpine skiing and a cross-country ski loop of around 15 km.
