Holiday apartment in Morgex: wine, culture and mountain landscapes

Morgex combines winegrowing, historic sites and a variety of activities with a landscape framed by mountains and forests. In Morgex, the vineyards, the Tour de l’Archet, the parish church of Nostra Signora dell’Assunzione, the Dora Baltea and wooded landscapes are among the specific settings. Culture and nature extend from the town into the wider regional area. The Dora Baltea complements the wine landscape with a river environment.

Holiday apartment in Morgex: wine and local character

Winegrowing is a defining theme. In Morgex, vineyards are cultivated at elevations of up to 1,200 metres to produce the DOC wine Blanc de Morgex et de La Salle. The experience “Les Blancs de Morgex et de La Salle” offers a particularly tangible insight. In Morgex, it includes a cellar tour and a tasting of the traditional Blanc de Morgex et de La Salle from Cave Mont Blanc. The cellar tour focuses on the production process, while the tasting places the wine itself at the centre. Winegrowing thus extends from the cultivated vineyards to an experience at Cave Mont Blanc.

Morgex can be reached by the “Aosta-Courmayeur” bus route.
