How to get to Gerbore.
It is not difficult at all. You have to follow the directions.
Following the motorway Torino-Monte Bianco, you have to turn for Aosta-Ovest Saint-Pierre. When you reach the first traffic light turn on your left (the direction is Saint-Pierre – Courmayeur).
Few kilometres ahead, past the little town of Saint-Pierre, turn for Saint-Nicolas (the street is on the right). Now you have to drive up. Get to Saint-Nicolas and cross it; then you have to keep on heading for Vetan. You have found Gerbore.
Once upon a time…
…a little village up in the mountains, surrounded by a forest. Few families were living in Gerbore in the past and they were used to grow cereals that were cut during the summertime.
Once happened a time a very singular and special episode. The crop was so good that the inhabitants were astonished in the moment that they were looking the good wheat’s sheaves. The weeds were so yellow and shining that they seemed to be gold. Since that moment the village was called Gerbore. As matter of fact the French name for the wheat’s sheaves was “gerbe” and “or” is the translation for gold. Gerbore, exactly.
Once happened a time. And there is still today. Come in…
