The Forte di Bard seen from the bridge over the Dora Baltea river offers one of the most iconic and photographed views in the Aosta Valley. This spectacular perspective captures the imposing, craggy fortress that dominates the village below and the river waters.

The hamlet of Le Bourg can be easily reached by bicycle, passing under the highway overpass. The village is worth a visit for its characteristic keeled-arch windows, frescoes, and ancient signs that tell the story of the town. Also not to be missed is the church of San Rocco, perched on a rocky outcrop and offering a panoramic view of the valley.

The Roman road of the Gauls, built to connect Rome with the Rhone Valley, has in the Donnas section one of its most characteristic and spectacular points, carved into the living rock for a length of 221 meters. At a place where in antiquity the rocky promontory plunged into the waters of the Dora, the Romans launched a real challenge to nature by carving a living rock on which they could draw perfectly vertical walls and in whose womb they carved the roadbed. Exciting and unusual, here the Via delle Gallie gives its best by offering the spectacle of a vaulted passage 4 meters thick, 4 meters high and almost 3 meters wide which eloquently illustrates the amount of rock removed and shows all the refinement of a road engineering that has never been reached again until viaducts and modern tunnels. In the Middle Ages it served as the gate of the village, which was closed at night; the other defenses were natural: on one side the mountain and on the other the river. A fundamental road, which has been used a lot over the centuries, as evidenced by the deep ruts left by the passage of carts and the wear of the walking surface which has been patched and repaired at various points over time. A little further on, on the right, we recognize the excellent profile of a milestone, also spared in the rocky bank, which informs us of the distance to Augusta Praetoria (the current city of Aosta): XXXVI miles (about 54 km).
