COGNE. Here's the king of cross-country skiing resorts between the vast sun-lit Saint Orso meadow and the Nordic style pine and beach woods, in the heart of the Gran Paradiso National Park. The long cross-country trail meanders at the foot of the Grivola and the Gran Paradiso. You can also appreciate the views without skis, walking along the footpaths, snowshoeing or going on horse-sleigh excursions. You can ski downhill on the Montseuc slopes, whilst for the more dynamic there is ski mountaineering and ice climbing. Cogne is the administrative centre in the valley, at an altitude of 1534 metres, settled on the side of the famous Saint Orso meadow. You must not miss the bobbin laces: a tradition dating back to the 17th century and exhibited in a small museum.
