Route

It is possible to reach the ru des Novalles, a still active irrigation canal, by chair-lift during the opening times or by foot, when you reach the Lod Lake, or from the village of Crépin (path n. 4). At the bottom of Les Foressus alp there is the departure point of the ru des Novalles. The canal follows a very panoramic path where you can have a very nice view ot the village of Chamois and its surrounding nature. It is also possible to make a round trip. Along the path you will discover the history and the nature through some panels. The word “ru” means only the canals of the Aosta Valley region. The ru are small masterpieces of hydraulic engineering, that’s to say irrigation canals that were built around the XIIIth and the XVth century.
