Gressoney-Saint-Jean (Walser German: Greschòney Zer Chilchu) is a town and comune in the Aosta Valley region of north-western Italy.
Though historically Gressoney-Saint-Jean and Gressoney-La-Trinité are two separate comunes, they form a Walser German cultural unity known as Greschòney or Creschnau in Greschoneytitsch (or simply Titsch), the local Walser German dialect, or Kressenau in German. They were united into one commune named Gressoney from 1928 until 1946, when the two former communes were reconstituted.
An example of Greschòneytitsch:
Endsche Attò
das béscht em Hémmel,
dass héilege sígge Dín Noame.
Chéeme Dín Herrschaft.
Vater unser
der Du bist im Himmel,
geheiligt werde Dein Name.
Dein Reich komme.
Our Father
in heaven,
hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come,
...
