Walk 3 - Looking towards Zerbion
At last some water in the Ru Courtaud.
From www.lovevda.it/en/database/7/one-day-excursions/champoluc...
"The sunny “hill” of the main valley from Saint-Vincent to Emarèse, had everything needed to receive and feed an ever-expanding population, at the start of the 15th century. Everything, except for one essential thing: water. The nearest glacier was Ventina, which descends from Mount Rosa, 25 km away. A 25 km canal was built by using pick and shovel by “free men” of the hill of Saint-Vincent in the territory of Ayas and Brusson. During refurbishment work in the 1980s, many sections were left open, and are now a pleasant walk, rich in history, through wide meadows and numerous pastures."
