Tho historically Gressoney-Saint-Jean an Gressoney-La-Trinité are twa separate comunes, they shape a Walser German cultural unity kent as Greschòney or Creschnau in Greschoneytitsch (or simply Titsch), the local Walser German dialect, or Kressenau in German. They wur unitit inta ane commune namit Gressoney frae 1928 till 1946, when the twa umwhile communes wur reconstitutit.
