Fenêtre de Sereina

The route starts from the car park at the Saint-Rhémy-en-Bosses ski resort, which is easily reached from Aosta.

You quickly reach the mountain pastures after an initial climb through a larch forest. You pass a group of stone houses with slate roofs at the Arp du Bois Desot. Then, the landscape opens out onto the ridge of a vast mountain pasture which leads easily to the Fenêtre de Serena, where the view stretches across the French and Italian Alps as far as the eye can see.
