Tour des Villages - Fontainemore

Path 4

By: Gressoney Monterosa

Route category: Walk

Length: 10000 m

Difficulty: Medium

Fontainemore

Starting from the characteristic medieval bridge, take the only mule track on the left before the old village of Boures de Gris, next to the church of St. Anthony the Abbot.

You enter the woods until you reach the village of Borney; from here you follow the paved road entirely until you cross the road to Gressoney, on the opposite side you take the path following the signs for the Orrido of Guillemore. Beyond the characteristic bridge, climb along the left orographic slope of the Lys stream and, having reached the center of the village Planaz, next to the chapel, turn right and continue along a path through the meadows to a stone house at the edge of the forest. Next you meet a steeper path that leads, after a good half-hour, to the scenic and characteristic village Farettaz.

Reaching the communal road, follow it to the creek where, next to the bridge, take the path on the left and climb until you meet a wooden building. Here you skirt the mountainside to the right and rejoin the mule track and then continue on the left to the Pillaz chapel. Crossing the houses and then the communal road, take the mule track next to the fountain, then follow a falsopiano that, after crossing the stream, leads to the communal road to Coumarial.
Follow it for about 200 meters, taking the path on the right before the stream. The mule track at this point goes flat into the forest until it touches the village Verghedo from which it descends rapidly to the village Thea touching a section of asphalt road. Continue, still descending, until you reach Chuchal then take the mule track under the esplanade leading upstream to the village Bressé. Finally cross the dirt road at a stone bridge to reach the village of Fontainemore.
