Road cycling
Lignan is located at about 1,600 meters in the Vallone di Saint-Barthélemy, in an open position that marks the transition from the woods to a more alpine environment. The road that reaches it is regular and very rideable, with an ever-widening view as you ascend. Here you will also find the Astronomical Observatory of the Aosta Valley, in an area particularly favorable for the quality of the sky.
