Shortly after our departure, and still by the lake, we will cross the border to Italy.
We enter Italy in «Valle d´Aosta», a very small region covering only one district, called «Aosta».
St-Rhémy is the first village we will encounter on Italian territory, at 1620 m.o.s From here on, further villages will follow offering accommodation.
Etroubles further down the way is a place popular for spending holidays. When leaving this place, we pass by a farm named «Château Verdun».
During the Middle Ages, they supplied food products to the hospice, while today they offer accomodation and food to pilgrims.
On the lower segments of today's stage, along our trail, we will encounter traditional, open irrigation channels, as we can still find in alpine areas with little rainfall.
This trail ends at a pilgrims hostel in the upper part of the Echevennoz village.
