Resy
Located
at about 2000 meters over sea level, the little and typical is one of
the highest, in Europe, resided all year long. Reachable
from St. Jacques in less than one hour (about 35 minutes, usually), but
also from Lower Verra Plan and from Crest via Soussun, Resy has a
special prerogative: because of its position, it overlooks the whole
valley floor, and its lights are perfectly visible from Champoluc, just
on the right of the glacier. It’s good to say, besides, that the
glacier itself is not visible from Resy, because the village lays on the
“glacier’s shoulder”.
This
interesting village offers two refuges, the “Refugio” and the
“Guide’s Refuge Frachey”,. Located one upper than the other along
the slope. Both offers beds, and they’ve just been restored. The
Ferraro (2090 mts.) has got a wide terrace and it’s a bit bigger,
while the other, it’s located in a typical rascard, a little lower.
Please note the funny “signs competition” which welcomes the tourist
arriving to Resy. More

Resy
is also an important starting point for interesting excursions, as the
Palon itself or the Lakes: surrounded by meadows and woods, the village
is liked by a dirt road which takes to Crest or Bettaforca, the pass for
Gressoney’s Valley. Resy
is easy and fast to be reached for fitted people. Anyway, it can be an
interesting challenge for children or beginners: the run is completely
on an ascent, in the woods, and presents fascinating aspects. It’s the
best choice for the first meeting with the mountain, in full security.
