 Torgnon
WINTER
Snow-white slopes rich in forests and plenty of sun. Situated in
the best sun position of all the Matterhorn Valley, Torgnon has
the chance to be in such a place where the sun is quite common for
many hours a day during the winter season.
Sport
In this
pleasant area you can find also very good skiing opportunities thanks to
one cable-car, 4 ski-lifts, and one chair-lift that allow you to reach
the 2100 meters of the top. The downhill skiing courses are for any
level of skier as well as the tracks for cross-country. These last ones
are the longest of the all valley and give you the chance of choosing
between long, till 20 km, and short rings starting from 2 kilometers
long.
Nature
The cross-country tracks wind through deep woods and bring you
in unforgettable and delightful places where to enjoy the Matterhorn's
great charme.

 Situated on the right hand side of the Valley, at around six
kilometers from Antey and approximately at 1500 meters on
the sea level, it counts 22 small lovely villages. Thanks to
the "Col St. Pantaléon", a gorgeous place with an
unforgettable view of the Matterhorn, it is connected with
the central valley.
Nature
The rich wood present everywhere in the valley and the
charming green meadow make a puzzle of ravishing attractiveness in
a mountain environment where traditional agriculture activities,
tourism and care for nature live together in a great respect of
each other. Quite frequently, walking along the high paths, you
can see the more famous and well known alpine animals and flowers.
Art and history.
A Holy Art Museum, prepared on the parish church,
shows a rich wooden cross of the XVI th century. Very interesting
the small chapels of each village, too.
Sport and free time
Here you can skating, playing tennis
or bowls, taking pleasure from the local traditional sport called
"palet". Many itineraries start since the pic-nic area and you can
enjoy them on foot or by mountain-bike.
