Chambres d’Hôtes – Li Tzatagni is a guest house created from a skilfully restored 19th-century rural building, located in the hamlet of Chataigne in Pontboset, in the heart of the Champorcher valley in Valle d’Aosta. Nestled at the edge of an ancient chestnut forest, with the sound of the Ayasse stream as its soundtrack, it is an ideal choice for those seeking an authentic escape into mountain nature, far from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
The rooms have been carefully crafted to evoke the typical Valdostan alpine style: stone and wood finishes, parquet flooring, heating and a flat-screen satellite TV. Each room features a private bathroom with shower and bidet, independent entrance and, in most cases, a balcony or terrace overlooking the garden and surrounding mountains. The toiletry set is by Montiflor, a local company specialising in cosmetics made from the valley’s medicinal herbs.
Among the property’s amenities are a garden, a shared terrace, free street parking and free WiFi throughout. Breakfast in the room is available on request. Pets are not allowed and the property is entirely non-smoking.

Pontboset is a small municipality in Valle d’Aosta located in the middle valley of the Ayasse stream, in the heart of the Champorcher valley. With fewer than two hundred inhabitants and a predominantly wooded landscape, it is one of those places where time seems to slow down among centuries-old chestnut trees, alpine meadows and the constant sound of flowing water. Li Tzatagni stands right at the edge of this woodland, in the hamlet of Chataigne, surrounded by unspoilt nature that reveals a different face with each season.
A few kilometres away lies Champorcher, the gateway to the Parco Naturale del Mont Avic, one of the most pristine natural parks in Valle d’Aosta, with trails winding through alpine lakes, mountain huts and high-altitude pastures. In winter, the nearby Champorcher ski area offers peaceful slopes and exceptional panoramas. Around 10–11 km towards the main valley, the Forte di Bard — an imposing 19th-century fortress — hosts internationally renowned art exhibitions and is easily reachable by car.
The location is ideal for exploring both the lower Valle d’Aosta, with the Castello di Graines about 31 km away, and major centres such as Aosta, around fifty kilometres distant. Turin Airport is approximately 75 km away.
