Rong

A route across the plain north of the village, with Monte Rosa as a stunning backdrop.
The ascent through the meadows of the village of Rong includes a steep section through the forest, which should be approached with care.
The trail is groomed and marked with signposts. The route may vary depending on conditions, so the available GPS track may not exactly match the actual path.
It is also possible to start from other points along the regional road.

From the Pont-Saint-Martin motorway exit, turn right towards Turin. At the second roundabout, turn left following the signs for Gressoney.
The road climbs for a few hundred metres before turning right into the Lys Valley, passing through the villages of Lillianes, Fontainemore, Issime, and Gaby.
Continue until you reach Gressoney-Saint-Jean. Cross the bridge over the Lys stream, proceed past the tourist office building, and on the right you will find a car park.

Reach the car park by the golf course.
From here, cross a small bridge and continue along the ridge slightly above the cross-country ski trail, heading towards Monte Rosa.

Throughout this section, you walk with spectacular views of the mountain constantly in front of you. Descend slightly to pass to the right of a large building until reaching the main road leading to the hamlet of Rong.
Follow the stream, crossing it to reach the opposite side. Ascend to the left through the meadow, then traverse a tricky section to the right that leads into the hamlet of Rong.
After passing through the hamlet, follow the main road for a short distance, then turn left onto the trail descending into the valley.
Pass near a large protective wall and approach the hydroelectric power plant.
Continue along the stream until the bridge, cross it, then immediately turn left to follow the stream until you carefully cross the cross-country ski trail to return to the golf course car park where the route began.
