Introd: the uncontaminated and suggestive nature of the Aosta Valley, a dip in alpine traditions

Introd - Introd is a mountain town in the Aosta Valley located between two valleys: the Val di Rhêmes and that of Valsavarenche. Both valleys belong to the Gran Paradiso National Park, a park that begins in this town. The whole of the upper part of the country, practically half of it is in the National Park. It is a place that welcomes the tourist in a breathtaking natural landscape of peace and beauty.

It also came to the fore because it was chosen as a holiday resort by Pope John Paul II and Benedict XVI. The town also houses a museum entirely dedicated to Pope John Paul. Next to it is the Chapel of San Lorenzo, where the pope used to pray. Another noteworthy museum is the Maison Bruil, an ethnographic museum located in one of the greatest examples of rural architecture in the Gran Paradiso. It is dedicated to the alpine tradition, a way to take a dip in the past and learn about the traditions. The Maison is also used for food and wine and cultural events. Another place worth visiting is the thirteenth-century castle, known as Castello di Introd, which can still be visited today.
