The Stone Bridge of Echallod

Highlight • Bridge

The Echallod bridge is a stone footbridge, one of the most picturesque in the Aosta Valley.

Restored several times over the centuries, it connects the hamlets of Echallod superiore and inferiore to the other villages of the municipality of Arnad, located on the left bank of the Dora Baltea river.

The symmetrical donkey-back structure rests on three arches supported by robust buttresses. On the right abutment, there is a small shrine to protect travellers.
You cross it on foot by following the Cammino Balteo hiking trail (stage 22), which here overlaps with the Via Francigena route.

Castello di Issogne

Highlight • Castle

The Castello di Issogne is one of the most famous castles in the Aosta Valley and is known for its Renaissance style that contrasts with the nearby, more austere Castello di Verrès. The castle has a remarkable courtyard with a fountain in the shape of a pomegranate tree and a colorful portico, a rare example of medieval Alpine painting, with frescoes depicting scenes from everyday life in the late Middle Ages. The castle's history dates back to a papal bull in 1151, and it has a rich history that includes its transformation from an episcopal fortress into an elegant princely residence. The castle is open to visitors and offers a unique look at the culture and architecture of the region.

Verrès Castle

Highlight • Castle

The Castello di Verrès is an impressive medieval castle in the Aosta Valley, built in the 14th century by Yblet de Challant. The castle is known for its unique monolithic structure, which resembles a solid cube and differs from most other castles of the time which consisted of multiple buildings within a walled enclosure. Dominating the town of Verrès and the entrance to the Val d'Ayas, the castle has a military character that merges with elegant stone details that adorn the windows, doors and monumental mantelpieces. The castle has no corner towers nor a keep.
