A Barma Drola

Frazione Estoul, 18 BRUSSON | Area: countryside
Declared by the Innkeeper

A Barma is a protrusion in the rock, it is the shelter where you slip in when you find a storm in the mountains. Here in this place, the barma is a kind of hollow tree, one of those trees that you can slip inside to watch the snow sliding on other snow, layer upon layer.

An ancient house dating back to 1724.

It is located within the village of Estoul, a characteristic mountain village at an altitude of 1850 meters and overlooking the Ayas valley.

In winter, just a few meters (about 200) from the starting point of the Brusson - Palasinaz ski lifts.

In summer, it is an ideal starting point for numerous hiking itineraries, both on foot and by mountain bike. Or, simply, an ideal place to rest and appreciate a life still in contact with nature.

You may therefore see Grandma Anna's cows grazing, or Graziella's chickens scratching in the meadow next to the path.

You will probably see Mauro passing by with large buckets full of water, as he goes to tend to his garden.

Or if you are lucky, towards evening you may come across a deer or a stag that, absentmindedly, has come too close to the houses.
