Route Details
Aosta – Avise – Road Of The Salassi – Aosta
Starting fom Ponte Suaz in Aosta you go along the left-hand bank of the Dora Baltea going uphill and make your way towards Aymavilles. This village is at the entrance to the Cogne Valley in a position that has enabled vine-growing to flourish. You then come to Villeneuve, situated at the start of the valleys of Valsavarenche and Rhêmes and overlooked by the Church of Santa Maria and the ruins of the Châtel-Argent Castle, where they used to mint silver coins (hence the name). Continuing on, you go through Arvier, which lies in a little hollow surrounded by vineyards, and Avise. This ancient village, located in a dominant position over the right-hand bank of the Dora (as you look towards the source), is overlooked by the important remains of three mediaeval castles. In Roman times it was a strategic point along the Via Galliarum. As you climb to 1200 metres, you reach the village of Saint-Nicolas, that lies on the edge of a small green hollow in a very sunny position. It is the home of the “Centre d’Etudes Franco-provençales” created to safeguard and promote the patois, the Val d’Aosta dialect with Franco-Provencal origins.

About the Calorie Calculator
Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.
When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.
Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
