A traditional Valdostana lunch on the farm. After lunch, you will try a special coffee in Valdostana style, or the so-called "bowl of friendship".

What about touching the sky and admiring Mont Blanc views? We’ll make your dreams come true! An exciting adventure with the conquest of the "roof of Europe'' by new, but already legendary, Skyway Monte Bianco.
