Arvier


Arvier is a village in the central valley located approximately halfway between Aosta and Courmayeur. The capital, located on the orographic right of the Dora Baltea stream, develops at an altitude of 770 meters above sea level, as does the town of Leverogne, but the municipal area reaches 3 442 meters. Its surface is 33.4 km².

Coming from Aosta, we immediately find the town hall on the right, while a little further on, the village of Arvier begins on the left. The church and the castle, always on the left, remain a little higher. Further on, located at the entrance of the Valgrisenche, there is the hamlet of Leverogne. Entering this valley, we find the hamlets of Rochefort, La Ravoire, Chamin, Chamençon and Baise-Pierre, up to that of Planaval, the last hamlet before the municipality of Valgrisenche. Just above Leverogne we find the small hamlet of Chez-les-Garin.

Above Arvier, instead, the hamlets of Chez-les-Fournier, Chez-les-Moget, La Crête, Verney, Petit-Haury and Grand-Haury develop. Going down towards the town of Villeneuve, on the left, we find the hamlet of Mecosse. The slope on the left bank of the Dora, given its steepness, does not host any fraction. However, its southern exposure and the presence of overhanging rock walls make it the ideal place for the cultivation of the Enfer vineyards.
