Sarre Castle
Highlight • Castle
History
The castle stands in the Lalex area, on a promontory overlooking the Aosta plain above the state road to Mont Blanc, just beyond the crossroads for Cogne.
Built in 1710 by Giovanni Francesco Ferrod of Arvier on the remains of a strong house from 1242, after various changes of ownership it was purchased in 1869 by the King of Italy Vittorio Emanuele II, who renovated it and used it as a residence during his hunting trips in the Aosta Valley.
The royal castle of Sarre, which became part of His Majesty's private heritage, then became the headquarters used by the king of Italy for his expeditions in the valleys of Cogne, Rhêmes and Valsavarenche.
To host the first king of Italy, the residence underwent some modifications, including the raising of the tower and the construction of a new stable. Inside, the rooms were completely renovated and modernized. The conservator of the Royal Palace of Milan was specifically entrusted with the furnishings, which he arranged by transferring the furnishings from other royal residences.
Vittorio Emanuele's successor, Umberto I (1844-1900), also assigned the Alpine castle to uses linked to hunting.
In the last years of his reign, Umberto I paid particular attention to the residence of Sarre, whose internal renovation he promoted. The works carried out on that occasion include the important decorative campaigns of the monumental environments, decorated with ibex and chamois trophies.
The castle was inhabited as a holiday by Queen Maria José even in the years following the monarchy.
In 1989 the Valle d´Aosta Region purchased the complex to restore it. The castle, which appears as a longitudinal body with a square tower in the centre, can be considered a museum of the Savoy presence in the Aosta Valley.
Visit
The visit itinerary unfolds on three floors:
the ground floor is set up as a museum and introduces a guided tour of the upper floors; some rooms are dedicated to the hunting theme and illustrate the territory, the management methods and the technical specificities of real hunts.
the first floor, which still retains the furnishings and the appearance it took on in the second half of the 19th century, recalls the residential dimension of the Umbertine phase of the castle; the rooms are presented, with some exceptions, with the furniture documented by the 1890 inventory and with the textile furnishings described by the same inventory and reproduced on the basis of some original samples preserved in the State Archives of Turin.
on the second floor, the exhibition presents a chronological setting linked to the members of the Savoy dynasty who lived in the castle from the beginning of the twentieth century to the post-World War II period.

Les Îles Green Area
Highlight • Natural
At the gates of Gressan, next to the Dora Baltea and along the cycle path that connects Sarre to Pontey, there is the splendid green area "Les Îles". Extending over a surface area of 38,959 m2, it is dedicated to the practice of traditional games and surrounded by a 1,028-meter cycle ring, which can also be used as a fitness trail, jogging track and roller skating track.
The area is equipped with a children's playground, an artificial sports climbing gym, two fountains and numerous benches. Access is free, but in some periods of the year it may be partially limited to allow training and competitions of traditional local games such as rebatta, fiolet and tzan. In particular, from March 1 to May 31 and from September 1 to October 15, a part of the area and the related section of the cycle path are reserved for these activities.
In the immediate vicinity there are bars, restaurants and a private sports center with a swimming pool and padel courts, both indoor and outdoor, with catering service.
The entire area is connected to the Montfleury sports center in Aosta via a cycle/pedestrian walkway that crosses the Dora Baltea and is served by two convenient parking lots.
