Synthetic plan work Overview
This page is intended to summarize the entire and complete Work Plan with respect to the most important small Torrents and Sreams of across Aosta Valley.
Born a little so improvised in now distant December 17th, 2013 with "Grisenche Valley", this idea of analyzing the main vallons and the valleys that exist in Aosta Valley took the substance, along the way, with the publication of other works related to the same topic. But, previously, since September 16th of the same year had taken start another series devoted to the analysis of this analogous and kindred theme with "ALL PASSES from PIEDMONT to AOSTA VALLEY's into SOUTHEASTERN Graian ALPS", though primarily targeted at Hills and then to step between Valleys and Walloons different. Since November instead began with "AOSTA VALLEY Southern Orographic and Hydrographic VALLEYS & small Valleys - First Part/A" a more targeted and more specific in an organic (same topographical division of the recent work with the same dascrizione in clockwise rotation from East to West and back) that had ended, after the publication of six separate and specific pages, April 3th, 2014 with "AOSTA VALLEY Southern Or. & Hydr. VALLEYS & small Valleys - First Part/B". This work was more gaunt and "telegraphic" the current, but had the advantage of their visit all the vallons or small valleys existing into the Valley of Aosta. Two complementar works and apparently similar, but to propose such substantial differences, with the latter becoming more descriptive and interesting, even with the mention of Mountaineering, Hiking itineraries, and more connected to the fabric of a relative valley. So a goal more matured over time not prefixed in relation to the large amount of work to be performed and the commitment required. Purpose highlighting what has been done and what still needs to be realized is an invitation to anyone who wants to participate in the drafting of the various valleys and numerous small vallons that still have not been described, and of which you will find in the clear highlight panels, just below.
This applies to the important all waters description inside the same.
Logically this case study corresponds to a similar one on the course of the waters that run through the same. The same can sometimes be scored by lakes at the beginning or intermediates, as well as be "broken" by one or more cascades of water. A "musical song" accompanying the cheering scene beyond sight even the hearing.
Meanwhile it is to be noted that all of the South Sector compared to Baltea was completed with the last publication in March of the page relative to "Conca d'Arpy" or Arpy Basin.

Dora Baltea towards Southeast in the middle Aosta Valley between Pontey & Châtillon Municipalities,
by Osw June 2016
Clockwise and from East to West, starting from the Common of Pont Saint Martin to get towards Valley La Thuile and the adjacent Vallon of Little Saint Bernard.
So the whole sector bordering the Valle Orco-Locana-Ceresole Reale in Canavese Zone (Piedmont), as well as the border between Italy and France with Val d'Isere and the Tarentaise Sainte Foy has been completed; incluincluding the Valley of Saint Barthélemy, still further North the entire Valley of the Gran San Bernardo including Conca (Basin) of By-Ollomont and Valpelline. Finally the three valleys "noble", namely: Valtournanche or Valley of Torrent Marmore and still of the Cervino also Matterhorn above Châtillon, the Ayas Valley or of Evançon also Lyskamms over Verrès and finally the Lys Valley or Gressoney with the highest part Chain Monte Rosa and the foothills to the Southern border with Piedmont up to the Mombarone. About Val d'Ayas, to note that five major small valleys of its watershed Eastern with the Lys or Gressoney Valley are already been edited; can be attached to complete, in the course of future description of this valley. The four main focal points of this artificial division into four specific sectors, over the course of Dora Baltea which acts as a divider between the net everything which stands in the North compared to that which is collocated to the South, can be considered from East to West the Commons Pont Saint Martin, Saint Vincent-Châtillon, Aosta and Courmayeur. But the "heart" or, if you prefer the primary pin, is to be located in the old City of Aosta, the real balance of power within the right of Aosta Valley in the middle of Graian & Pennine Alps, as incidentally had already identified 2040 years ago the Romans, clearly prosthesis on
"Ancient Via delle Gallie" toward France, but also interested to dominate all the Valleys with its secondaries Vallons, exploiting the rich resources from all waters.

Pagina "intermedia" possiede lo scopo di sintetizzare il Piano di Lavoro completo rispetto a torrentelli e corsi d'acqua principali dell'intero territorio Valdostano.
Nata un pò in modo improvvisato nell'ormai lontano Dicembre 2013 con "Grisenche Valley", quest'idea di analizzare le principali valli nonché i valloni esistenti in Valle di Aosta ha preso sostanza, strada facendo, con la pubblicazione di altri lavori inerenti alla stessa tematica. Ma, precedentemente, già dal Settembre dello stesso anno aveva preso inizio un'altra serie dedicata all'analisi di questo tema con "ALL PASSES from PIEDMONT to AOSTA's VALLEY into SOUTHEASTERN GRAIAN ALPS, però principalmente rivolta ai Colli e quindi al passaggio tra valli e valloni diversi. Dal Novembre invece era iniziata con "AOSTA VALLEY Southern Orographic and Hydrographic VALLEYS & small Valleys - First Part/A" una serie più mirata, nonché maggiormente specifica che in modo organico (stessa divisione topografica del recente lavoro con medesima dascrizione in rotazione oraria da Est ad Ovest e ritorno) che s'era conclusa, dopo la pubblicazione di sei distinte pagine, il 3 di Aprile del 2014 con "AOSTA VALLEY Southern Or. & Hydr. VALLEYS & small Valleys - First Part/B". Questo lavoro era più scarno e "telegrafico" dell'attuale, ma aveva il pregio di visitare proprio tutti i valloni e valloncelli secondarii esistenti con gran numero nell'intera Valle di Aosta. Due lavori complementari ed apparentemente similari, ma tali da proporre sostanziali differenziazioni, con quest'ultimo che diventa maggiormente descrittivo, anche con l'accenno ad itinerari da percorrere, e più connesso al tessuto d'una specifica vallata. Quindi un obiettivo maggiormente maturato nel tempo che non prefissato, in rapporto alla grande mole di lavoro da svolgere e dell'impegno richiesto. All'uopo evidenziando ciò che é stato fatto e quello che deve essere ancora realizzato risulta un invito a chiunque volenteroso voglia partecipare a stesura di valloncelli e di valli che ancora non sono state descritte e delle quali trovate chiara evidenziazione nei panneaux appena sotto elencati.
Ciò vale anche per l'importante descrizione di tutte le acque all'interno ai medesimi.
Logicamente a questo studio analitico corrisponde uno analogo concernente il corso delle acque che solcano i medesimi. Lo stesso a volte può essere segnato da laghi all'inizio od intermedi, nonché esser "spezzati" da una o più cascate d'acqua. "Canzone musicale" accompagnante il panorama allietando oltre la vista anche l'udito.
Da annotarsi che tutto il Settore Meridionale rispetto alla Dora Baltea é stato completato con la pubblicazione in Marzo di "Conca d'Arpy", subito precedente la Valle di La Thuile.

Savara Torrent between Eaux Rousses & Rovenaud Villages in Valsavarenche,
by Osw June 2016
Questo in senso orario e da Est verso Ovest, partendo da Pont Saint Martin per arrivare alla Valle di La Thuile ed all'adiacente Vallone del Piccolo San Bernardo. Quindi tutto il settore confinante con la Valle dell'Orco-Locana-Ceresole Reale in Canavese (Piemonte), nonché il confine italo-francese con la Val d'Isère e la Tarentaise Sainte-Foy é stato completato; comprese le aree più interne, che non arrivano ai confini, ma che quali zone intermedie discendono verso la Valle Centrale. La scansione temporale delle varie pubblicazioni non ha rispettato integralmente la giusta successione geografica e topografica mentre la medesima ha visto, proprio perché improvvisata come sopraddetto, pubblicare delle vallate in anticipo od in ritardo rispetto ad altre. Questo per motivi contingenti, spesso in concomitanza di altri lavori eseguiti in diversi titoli (esempio My Mountain, Article, Trip Report ecc) inerenti alla medesima area. Per questo motivo si preferisce qui dare due diverse chiavi di lettura: 1)- la giusta successione in senso circolare a 360° di vallate e valloni partendo da Est (Comune di Pont St. Martin) per ritornare ad Est sul Settore opposto o Settentrionale che, partendo dal Colle della Seigne all'inizio della Catena del Monte Bianco, termina ad Est con quella del Monte Rosa per infine concludere scendendo al confine con le tre Province di Novara, Biella e Torino (sempre Piemonte) sull'estremo spartiacque Orientale. 2)- Nella successiva tabella di "Déjà-vu or Already Seen" vengono invece descritte le pubblicazioni in senso cronologico, così come sono state pubblicate a suo tempo. Per completare questo lavoro manca ancora tutto il Settore Settentrionale rispetto al corso della Dora Baltea, che si può così brevemente delineare: le due vallate del Monte Bianco (Val Vény e Ferret), le due aree interne o Nordovest da Courmayeur (Mont de la Saxe) ad Aosta (Punta di Met) e Nord da Aosta (Becca di Viou) a Châtillon (Becca d'Aver), compresa la Valle di Saint Barthélemy. Ancora più a Nord l'intera Valle del Gran San Bernardo, compresa la Conca di By-Ollomont, e la Valpelline, ed infine le tre valli "nobili", ovvero: la Valtournanche o Valle del Torrent Marmore ed ancora del Cervino fino a Châtillon, la Val d'Ayas o Valle dell'Evançon o dei Lyskamms fino a Verrès ed infine la Valle del Lys o di Gressoney con la parte più elevata della Catena del Monte Rosa, nonché le propaggini Meridionali al confine con il Piemonte raggiungenti il piccolo Mombarone sopra i Comuni di Pont Saint Martin e Carema. A proposito della Val d'Ayas, da annotare che cinque importanti valloni del suo spartiacque Orientale con la Valle del Lys sono di già stati editati; potranno essere allegati, a completamento, nel corso della futura descrizione di questa vallata. I quattro fulcri principali di questa artificiale divisione in altrettanti specifici settori, oltre al corso della Dora Baltea fungente da netto divisorio tra tutto quello che rimane a Settentrione rispetto a ciò che é collocato a Meridione, posson essere considerati da Est ad Ovest i Comuni di Pont St. Martin, Donnas, Arnad, Bard, Montjovet, St. Vincent e Châtillon e quindi da Aosta raggiungendo la Valdigne e l"Alta Valle" sino a Courmayeur. Ma il "cuore" o, se preferite il perno primario della suddivisione in quattro specifici settori, é da situarsi nella vecchia Città d'Aosta, vero e proprio ago della bilancia all'interno dell'omonima Valle giusto in mezzo ad Alpi Graie e Pennine, come daltronde già individuato 2040 anni orsono dai Romani, sin d'allora decisamente protesi sull'
Antica "Via delle Gallie" ma pur sempre interessati a dominare su tutte le Vallate, nonché sui Valloni secondari sfruttandone tutte le ricche nonché copiose acque.

Déjà-vu or Already Seen
by Osw June 2016
This box summarizes all valleys and gorges until now published and edited in SP, to which we attach an intimate marriage with a visit to their rivers & torrents.
As already explained in the same Overview not follow a strict topographic scanning in Sector Southern than in the course of Dora Baltea River, which however has been completed from East to West or from the "Lower Valley" towards the "Higher Valley" with Mountain Chain of Mont Blanc. Also have already been edited five vallons on the Val d'Ayas or of Torrent Evançon to Verrès Town, which anticipate the work in the North still almost completely to play. Moreover, as already above specified, lists six previous work on Valleys and Vallons of the whole Aosta Valley, are part of a series forerunner to this work, and more focused on the research of all the existing vallons, including the secondaries, smaller or semi unknown. Begun in September 2013, and concluded in April of the following year, offers the same features of the current and larger work but is more addressed to the "discovery" of the vallons than to a thorough scrutiny of the valleys. In any case, for all we know, can be considered an original work and unique; definitely complementary to the last of which can be seen as introductory and upon completion. The same job, turned to the valleys, he begins to find an "extension" to the discourse that is relevant to their rivers and streams of the same. To that end we find a first initiative with "In every Valley ... Rio Artanavaz (Arsy-Flassin-Citrin-Serena-Merdeux) 4" of February 10th, 2016 followed by a March 2th, 2016 with "In every Valley ... Torrents Buthier (Etroubles-St. Rhémy-en-Bosses-Ollomont-Valpelline) 5", both included in "My Areas & Ranges". From this initial and more descriptive idea it is moved to a more "exploratory phase" going to visit the streams or even the small torrents of the Aosta Valley, if not totally, at least in part of their course. The result is a combination of valleys and streams or torrents which then becomes more specific to the latter starting from "Along various & Dora Baltea (Southern Side)", edited June 16th, 2016. This first part, facing the Southern catchment waters area, is balanced against the next "Along various Torrents towards the Dora Baltea (Northern Side)" of July 17th, 2016 addressed to the Northern fluvial sector. So we will proceed with a single as "Along Grand'Eyvia towards Dora Baltea", or at most "grouped", analysis of the various streams as "Visiting seven Torrents complementary to Dora Baltea" of this December 4th 2016.
An idea to be implemented with projected speech to a long series of journeys and explorations for the next 2017, by this coming winter until early next 2018 ...

In questo riquadro vengon riassunte tutte le valli ed i valloni fino ad ora pubblicate in SP, alle quali alleghiamo stretto connubio con visita ai loro fiumi e torrenti.
Come già ampiamente spiegato in Overview le stesse non seguono una scansione topografica rigorosa nel Settore Meridionale rispetto al corso della Dora, che comunque é stato completato da Est ad Ovest ovvero dalla "Bassa Valle" fino alla Catena del Monte Bianco. Inoltre son già stati editati cinque valloni concernenti la Val d'Ayas, anticipanti il lavoro nel settore Settentrionale, ancor quasi completamente da svolgere. Perdipiù, come sopra specificato, vengono elencati sei precedenti lavori concernenti Valli e Valloni dell'intera Valle d'Aosta, facenti parte di una serie antesignana a questo lavoro e maggiormente rivolta alla ricerca di tutti i valloni esistenti, compresi i secondari nonché i più piccoli. Iniziata a Settembre 2013 e conclusa in Aprile dell'anno successivo, ripropone le stesse caratteristiche dell'attuale e più ampio lavoro ma é maggiormente indirizzata alla "scoperta" dei valloni che non ad una disamina approfondita delle vallate. Per quel che ne sappiamo, può essere considerato un lavoro originale e probabilmente unico; sicuramente complementare a questo del quale può essere visto come introduttivo ed a completamento. Il medesimo lavoro, rivolto alle valli, incomincia a trovare un "ampliamento" con il discorso che riguarda i fiumi ed i torrenti propri delle stesse. All'uopo riscontriamo una prima iniziativa con "In every Valley ... Rio Artanavaz (Arsy-Flassin-Citrin-Serena-Merdeux) 4" del 10 Febbraio 2016 seguita da una del 02 Marzo 2016 con "In every Valley ...

Come già ampiamente spiegato in Overview le stesse non seguono una scansione topografica rigorosa nel Settore Meridionale rispetto al corso della Dora, che comunque é stato completato da Est ad Ovest ovvero dalla "Bassa Valle" fino alla Catena del Monte Bianco. Inoltre son già stati editati cinque valloni concernenti la Val d'Ayas, anticipanti il lavoro nel settore Settentrionale, ancor quasi completamente da svolgere. Perdipiù, come sopra specificato, vengono elencati sei precedenti lavori concernenti Valli e Valloni dell'intera Valle d'Aosta, facenti parte di una serie antesignana a questo lavoro e maggiormente rivolta alla ricerca di tutti i valloni esistenti, compresi i secondari nonché i più piccoli. Iniziata a Settembre 2013 e conclusa in Aprile dell'anno successivo, ripropone le stesse caratteristiche dell'attuale e più ampio lavoro ma é maggiormente indirizzata alla "scoperta" dei valloni che non ad una disamina approfondita delle vallate. Per quel che ne sappiamo, può essere considerato un lavoro originale e probabilmente unico; sicuramente complementare a questo del quale può essere visto come introduttivo ed a completamento. Il medesimo lavoro, rivolto alle valli, incomincia a trovare un "ampliamento" con il discorso che riguarda i fiumi ed i torrenti propri delle stesse. All'uopo riscontriamo una prima iniziativa con "In every Valley ... Rio Artanavaz (Arsy-Flassin-Citrin-Serena-Merdeux) 4" del 10 Febbraio 2016 seguita da una del 02 Marzo 2016 con "In every Valley ...
