Lou Tsantelet is located in the hamlet of Valnontey, a short distance from the centre of Cogne and surrounded by the landscape of the Gran Paradiso National Park, Italy’s oldest protected area. Valnontey is a small mountain village that rises along the stream of the same name, a tributary of the Grand Eyvia, at an altitude of approximately 1,700 metres. The area is renowned for its extraordinary biodiversity: ibexes, chamois and marmots can be easily spotted along the trails that branch out from the valley floor towards the surrounding peaks.
Cogne is the main village of the valley of the same name, reachable from Aosta via a scenic road running through the lateral Valsavarenche. The village is a sought-after destination both in summer, for hiking and mountain biking, and in winter, when the Prato di Sant’Orso hosts one of the most highly regarded cross-country skiing circuits in Europe. The proximity to the Valnontey Alpine Botanical Garden, located just a short walk from the hotel, further enriches the area’s natural offerings.
The Pila cable car, the area’s main ski resort, is approximately 29 km away, while Turin Airport is around 152 km away.
