Antey-Saint-André, in the Valtournenche on the road to Cervinia
Driving up from Châtillon towards Cervinia, Antey-Saint-André is the first municipality you reach in the Valtournenche, above a thousand metres, in a basin that is more open than the narrow valley leading up to it. The municipality is made up of many hamlets scattered among meadows and woods, with the Marmore stream on the valley floor. It lives on both residents and tourism, and some of its houses are used as second homes in summer and winter.
For a buyer, the hamlet, the orientation and winter access are what count. The climate zone is F, with snow and long winters: insulation, heating and a sound roof weigh on running costs more than on the plain. Châtillon and the main valley, with the motorway and the railway, are the reference for work and services; Aosta for the hospital.
There were 565 residents in 2023, 9.7% fewer than in 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office. The estimated average age is 47.7, almost the same as the region's (47.0), and over-65s make up 25.3%. Foreign residents account for 5.5%. Average declared incomes are slightly below the regional average.
All 74 municipalities in the Aosta Valley are in seismic zone 3 of the Civil Protection classification. In Antey-Saint-André the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.081 g. In stone and timber houses, check the roof, which carries the weight of snow, and how the structure is tied together.
The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps are published and the report finds the land parcel from the address. In the mountains, landslides and debris flows depend on the slope: the report reads the official maps at the exact point.
