Attractions and Places To See around Arnad - Top 20

Excellent restaurant with very fair prices, excellent food quality, and friendly staff. I recommend wearing appropriate footwear because the trail features rocks that can be slippery, especially on wet ground.

Excellent as a refreshment point before visiting all the lakes with a full belly!

The panna cotta at the restaurant was really, really good!

Excellent service and quality of dishes in addition to the courteous and fast service

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 out of the living rock over a length of 221 metres. In a place where in ancient times the rocky promontory plunged into the waters of the Dora, the Romans launched a real challenge to nature by carving out a living rock on which they could draw perfectly vertical walls and in whose bosom they cut the roadbed. Exciting and unusual, here the Via delle Gallie gives its best by offering the spectacle of a vaulted passage 4 metres thick, 4 metres high and almost 3 metres wide that eloquently illustrates the amount of rock removed and shows all the refinement of a road engineering never again achieved until viaducts and modern tunnels. In the Middle Ages it served as a gate to the village, which was closed at night; The other defences were of course: on one side the mountain and on the other the river. A fundamental road, much used over the centuries, as evidenced by the deep ruts left by the passage of carts and the wear of the walking surface that has been patched and repaired at various points over time. A little further on, on the right, we recognise 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).

Not overcrowded with tourists, reasonable prices, friendly service, beautiful surroundings. Located directly on Lake Muffé. Card payment possible.

In addition to many temporary exhibitions, often aimed at promoting and learning about the culture and territory of the Aosta Valley and the Alps, the Forte di Bard includes three permanent museums. 1.) On the top floor is the Museum of the Alps. Here the secrets of the mountain have been presented through a multimedia path and interactive installations. A truly worthwhile and informative museum!!! 2.) A second museum room is dedicated to the prisons of the fort, twenty-four narrow cells (1.3 x 2 meters) distributed in four areas and accessed from a gallery decorated with historical prints and paintings that tell the story of the building. 3.) Finally, the Fortress and Border Museum of the Opera Ferdinando offers a journey through the history of the Bard through a parade of historical and plastic weapons, including scale models of defensive structures and miniature armies.

The Barbustel al Lac Blanc mountain hut is located near the Bianco, Nero and Vallette lakes. It offers a magnificent view of the majestic Mont Avic, Monte Rosa, the Matterhorn and the Dent d'Hérens. Its bunk beds can accommodate about forty people; with bathrooms on the floors. For lunch, typical Valle d'Aosta cuisine is available. The winter room is available only by reservation and can accommodate 6 people (without gas stove).
