Gressoney-Saint-Jean, Alpine municipality in Aosta Valley, Italy
Gressoney-Saint-Jean sits at 1385 meters elevation in a valley created by the Lys torrent, surrounded by mountains of the Italian Alps.
The municipality merged with Gressoney-La-Trinité from 1928 to 1946, forming a single commune called Gressoney before separating again after World War II.
The local population maintains connections to Walser German heritage, speaking a distinct dialect known as Greschoneytitsch in their daily interactions.
The Alpine Botanical Garden, located within Savoy Castle grounds, presents local flora species through guided visits from spring through autumn months.
A severe flood of the Lys torrent in 1868 transformed the village landscape, leading to significant reconstruction efforts that shaped current town layout.
