Brief history of the chalet
Formerly
The Baita La Pesse, which belonged to the Chabloz family, was used as a "mayen", an intermediate alpine pasture for mountain grazing.
Every year in June, the cattle would go up from the Plane farm to the pastures at La Pesse, at an altitude of 1,600 m, returning in September after spending July and August in the higher pastures of the Saint- Barthélemy valley.
In October, after grazing the last of the grass, there was the "Desarpa", the final return of the cows, calves and goats to the stables at the bottom of the valley.
Today
Dad Piero and his daughter Arianna, descendants of the Chabloz family, have recovered and renovated this family property, respecting the canons of mountain architecture.
Plane Farmhouse
While the Baita La Pesse is now used as a holiday home, the former farmhouse at Plane in the central valley, also recently renovated, retains one of its original functions: the wine storage and production cellar.
A wine that is the result of the recovery of the family vineyards located on the slopes surrounding Nus Castle.
Piero's hard but passionate work has enabled him to produce two types of bottle from these vineyards: "Blanc de Péran", a Malvasia wine made from Pinot Gris grapes. The "Bien rouge", a red wine made from the typical local grape variety: vien de Nus.
