Chamois

Accessible only by cable car from Buisson or on foot, Chamois stands as Italy's sole mainland car-free municipality, its pristine environment naturally nurturing exceptional produce. This unique alpine isolation, free from automotive pollution, fosters the conditions essential for its 8 protected denominations. Among these are the highly localised Valle d'Aosta Jambon de Bosses DOP and the celebrated Fontina DOP, both tied to a specific zone of 74 municipalities. Here, traditional methods thrive, benefiting from an unspoiled landscape that imparts distinct character to these renowned food and wine origins, embodying the essence of the Valle d'Aosta.
