Detailed track description
To take this walk, you need to go to the center of Pila, in front of the Aosta-Pila cable car square. The trail 14l that leads to the Hermitage starts as a sunny dirt path for the first 10 minutes, but soon it enters the forest below the Chamolé alpine pastures. The only junction is located a little less than 100 meters from the destination, where the trail splits: the Hermitage is at the end of the path that descends to the left. You can extend your walk from Pila beyond the Hermitage by following the grassy path that leads to Alpe Combattissière, which is an additional 15 minutes of walking. Moreover, you can continue with the downhill trails towards Les Fleures or Charvensod, both of which start from behind the Hermitage. To the right of the Hermitage, trail 102 leads to Alpe Chamolé and its namesake lake. On the left side of the Hermitage, you’ll find a well-kept small meadow, ideal for laying down blankets or mats on the ground.
