Beautiful mountain village accessible by cable car or road, at least in summer!
A quaint village with bars and restaurants, even at high altitude.
From there, there are three chairlifts to take you up.
Stunning scenery!

In 1955, the cable car was chosen over the road to preserve the environment and the silence.
It is the only municipality in Italy not accessible by car: it can only be reached by cable car from Buisson, on foot, by bike, or by ultralight aircraft.
The historic center features stone and wood houses, barns, fountains, mule tracks, and rascards, typical stilt houses with grain stoves.
It has been called a "silent village" for a reason: no cars, no smog, just nature and Alpine tranquility.
A short distance away is Lake Lod (2,015 m); it is a small body of water with a picnic area, accessible on foot or by chairlift.
Numerous panoramic and hiking trails for all levels start from the village.
I recommend taking a circular tour of the entire village to admire the houses, which are meticulously maintained down to the smallest detail.
Chamois is a place where time slows down: Alpine architecture, a pristine environment, and gentle mobility combine to create an authentic experience. Ideal for lovers of nature, serenity, and outdoor activities, whatever the season.
