From the centre of Torgnon, we discover the well-kept hamlet of Châté, its small church dedicated to Our Lady of the Alpini and finally the Châtelard alpine pasture. The tour continues in the charming hamlet of Triatel with its interesting ethnographic museum
Description
From Place Frutaz, continue along the road in a northerly direction. Pass the hamlets of Chatrian and Pecou and arrive at Châté. A small hamlet perched on two hairpin bends, it has a magnificent view and very charming little houses. Once you have ascended the hamlet, take an obvious farm road that winds its way over the meadows above. In a short time, you reach Petit Châtelard and immediately afterwards the chapel of the Madonna degli Alpini. From here, continue on an uphill path to Châtelard. Here you can enjoy the breathtaking view of the entire valley, immersed in a bucolic setting. From Châtelard, descend back to the chapel and take the track again. Take the first turning to the left that, still on the farm road and trail number 18, leads to the hamlet of Triatel. A visit to the beautiful Petit Monde ethnographic museum is not to be missed here. Take the tarmac road back to the village and return to the starting point.

Ethnographic museum
The hamlet of Triatel is worth a visit in itself, but the presence of the Petit-Monde ethnographic museum makes this small locality a real gem. The museum consists of a terraced raccard, a grandze and a grenier, built between 1462 and 1700. The rooms, restored and enhanced, house a permanent ethnographic exhibition narrating the life and social organisation of the inhabitants of Petit Monde.
