Nestled in the wild Champorcher Valley, the Li Tzatagni guesthouse welcomes visitors in the heart of the village of Châteigne, surrounded by ancient chestnut trees and authentic glimpses of the Aosta Valley mountains. The establishment is the result of a thoughtful renovation of two family homes, preserving local architectural traditions with exposed stone, wood, and original materials meticulously restored by local artisans.
The five rooms, each featuring a private entrance and bathroom, provide intimate and cozy spaces that echo the history of these mountains. The charm of the reclaimed wooden ceilings, the paneling made from original boards, and the curtains crafted from vintage hemp linens convey a simple and genuine past. From the balconies or the garden overlooking the forest, one can admire the lush nature and be lulled by the sounds of the woods.
Freedom is a key aspect of the stay at Li Tzatagni. Each morning, a basket filled with breakfast items awaits you at your door, which you can enjoy wherever you wish: in the tranquility of your room, outdoors among the chestnuts, or in the common area while planning your excursions. The surrounding nature encourages you to slow down, savor the scents of the forest, and rediscover the value of simple things.
What makes the experience even more special are the attentions of Alessia, always ready to assist with any needs, and the Montiflor products made from medicinal herbs grown in the valley. This care reflects a love for the mountains and authentic hospitality, rooted in respect for nature and the history of these places.
At Li Tzatagni, breakfast is tailored to your pace, allowing you the freedom to choose between two options. Each morning, starting at 8:15, you can receive a basket filled with local and homemade treats, either sweet or savory, accompanied by coffee, milk, and regional juice, which you can enjoy in your room, in the garden, or in the breakfast room at your leisure. Alternatively, with a reservation, you can visit the Moulin des Aravis for a lavish buffet featuring pastries, fruits, jams, cold cuts, and cheeses, all served in the charming setting of a historic 17th-century mill overlooking the Ayasse stream.

My name is Alessia, and I am from the Champorcher Valley. For the past twenty years, I have been running our family agriturismo, Le Moulin des Aravis. I cherish freedom, travel, and the opportunity to connect with different cultures—values that I find reflected in the nature and traditions of my homeland. This is why I decided to create Li Tzatagni, a place that embodies my approach to hospitality, characterized by discretion and respect for my guests' independence. I am always available at the agriturismo to welcome you or provide you with an experience at the Moulin, while allowing you the autonomy to enjoy your stay at Li Tzatagni at your own pace.
Li Tzatagni is located in the heart of Pontboset, surrounded by ancient forests in the Champorcher Valley, nestled in an authentic corner of Valle d’Aosta where nature remains a prominent feature. The village of Châteigne, which houses this establishment, narrates the story of the chestnut tree, a long-standing symbol of the region and a silent witness to local traditions.
Around the area, trails wind along the Ayasse stream and pass through alpine villages characterized by traditional stone and wood buildings. From this point, it's easy to explore the valley, whether by walking to the Sanctuary of Retempio or tackling the routes of the Tor des Géants and Alta Via n. 2. Nature enthusiasts can venture into the rock climbing area of Mont Charvatton, stroll across stone bridges, or relax in the cool pools formed by the stream.
Just a few kilometers away is Champorcher, featuring the Mont Avic Natural Park, with its lakes and high-altitude meadows, ideal for summer hikes or enjoying winter activities such as alpine and cross-country skiing. The valley also offers cultural experiences, including visits to the Bard Fortress, located only 7 km away, or the castles of Verrès and Issogne.
The region retains its alpine spirit, far from mass tourism yet abundant in charm and natural beauty. Each season brings a different palette of colors, scents, and sounds, from the spring snowdrops to the warm hues of autumn, providing visitors with a true sanctuary of tranquility and authenticity.
