Further west, from Villeneuve, Valsavarenche runs southwards as far as Pont, gateway to the Gran Paradiso mountain itself. With a decent choice of hotels and camping grounds, it makes an excellent base for Walks 11, 12, 13, 15 and 16. Alta Via 2 crosses the valley at Eaux Rousses, another fine place to stay.

Forking off from Valsavarenche at lntrod is quieter Val di Rhêmes, the westernmost confine of the national park. Here the main settlement is Rhêmes-Notre-Dame (including the village of Bruil) which offers a full range of tourist facilities. Alta Via 2 crosses through here. Further up the valley a scattering of hamlets is dominated by the magnificent Granta Parei outcrop. Walks 10 and 14 to 17 can be followed from this valley.

Valgrisenche also leaves the Valle d'Aosta at Villeneuve and is populated with scattered farming hamlets such as Planaval (a staging point for Alta Via 2) and the main village called Valgrisenche. Glaciers occupy the valley head and Walks 17, 18 and 19 can be enjoyed here.
