Côte de Gargantua, Gressan

The Côte de Gargantua is a landslide ridge that folklore turned into the reclining body of the giant Gargantua. A short path runs along its grassy spine among scattered pines, a five-minute climb from the road, with an easy all-round view of Aosta, Pila and the Grand Combin.
