Nus - Saint Barthelemy - Ski resort facts
The most well known hamlet of Nus is without doubt Saint-Barthélemy with its famous astronomical observatory. The sky above Saint-Barthélemy, in fact, is one of the best places for astronomical observation, thanks to favourable conditions due mainly to the lack of pollution and high insolation, and every year the town hosts the oldest Star Party in Italy. The Valley of Saint-Barthélemy is wedged between mountainous massifs including Valpelline and Valtournenche, in a natural scenery of wild beauty. An initially torturous and very steep ascent, the town of Lignan, at an altitude of 1633 metres, offers a vast plain from where you can admire a magnificent view.
In winter, it is a popular destination with cross country ski lovers and is also popular with Alpine skiers, while the Alpine skiers can make use of a treadmill. In summer, the valley is full of mountaineers who use it as a base for difficult climbs as well as hikers who can pick from an endless number of walks or rides on horseback.
