Buthier Bara ... Overview ... sson Artanaz
All pictures of this fluvial page are by Antonio Giani, Emilio Bertona aka emilius, SalVal & Osw.
Three distinct streams down so clearly separated from the Great St. Bernard Pass, through the next Valleys of Grande (West), Barasson and Menouve (East).
Subsequently forming the course of Rio Artanavaz or Buthier des Bosses. These three courses converge at no great distance from each other, respectively, reaching the three adjacent Municipalities of St. Rhémy.en-Bosses, St. Oyen and Etroubles, all located in the middle part of the long Valley of Gran San Bernardo, starting from the homonymous hill (2469m) on the border with Switzerland, and then falls just above the city of Aosta. After or jointly with the two valleys of Ollomont and Valpelline. All these waters come together then make up the main Grand Buthier, which flows into the Dora Baltea among the Municipalities (on the opposite side of the catchment) of Charvensod Pollein. We can say, to better identify them, the first is the stream of Mont Mort, the second of the Testa or Head Barasson (2730m) and Pointe de Barasson (2962/3m), while the third, the more noble, comes from the Vallons consecutive of Molline and inferior or Menouve just located at the foot of the Southwest steep Face of the splendid Mont Vélan (3734m).
Baltea's story which derives its name by great Balteus Glacier and then scroll through the millennia for more than 168 miles to the sea. Crossing Aosta Valley ...
Tre distinti torrenti scendono in modo nettamente separato dalla Colle del Gran San Bernardo, attraverso le Valli del Grande (Ovest), Barasson e Menouve (Est).
Formando successivamente il corso del Rio Artanavaz o Buthier des Bosses. Questi tre corsi cofluiscono a non molta distanza l'uno dall'altro raggiungendo rispettivamente i tre vicini ma separati Comuni di St. Rhémy.en-Bosses, St. Oyen ed Etroubles, tutti situati nella parte media della Valle del Gran San Bernardo che, partendo dall'omonimo colle al confine con la Svizzera, scende fin sopra la Città di Aosta. Dopo essersi congiunto anche con le due Valli di Ollomont e Valpelline. Tutte queste acque che si riuniscono costituiscono poi il Grand Buthier, il quale confluisce con la Dora Baltea tra i Comuni (sul lato idrografico opposto) di Charvensod e Pollein. Possiamo dire, per meglio identificarli, che il primo é il torrente del Mont Mort, il secondo della Testa di Barasson (2730m) e dell'attigua ad Oriente Punta di Barasson (2962/3m), mentre il terzo, più nobile, proviene dai consecutivi Valloni di Molline e Menouve subito ai piedi dell'imponente nonché ripida faccia Sudovest dello splendido Mont Vélan (3734 m). Questa é la storia della Dora Baltea che deriva il suo nome dal grande Ghiacciaio Balteo per poi scorrere nei millenni per più di 168 Kilometri verso il mare. Attraversando la Valle d'Aosta ...
The torrents and streams begin when "die" glaciers, giving form to any hint of life with their fresh and still unspoiled waters, as willed by the Mother Nature.
The same quench the Mountaineer and Hikers returning from the goal achieved by giving him a first signal of peace, safety and contentment. After so much hard work ...
I torrenti iniziano là dove "muoiono" i ghiacciai, dando forma a qualsiasi spunto di vita con l'acque fresche ed ancora incontaminate, come sol in Madre Natura.
Le stesse dissetano l'Alpinista e l'Escursionista al rientro dalla meta raggiunta donandogli un primo segnale di riposo, sicurezza ed appagamento. Dopo tante dure fatiche ...
After all together down to the middle course of Baltea coming from all the valleys and vallons or small valleys. Then to the King of the Streams or great River Po.

Indi procedendo tutti insieme in "coro" giù verso il corso centrale della Dora Baltea ed arrivando da tutte le valli e da ogni vallata. Infine al Re dei fiumi o Po.
