Saint-Germain Castle

Highlight • Castle

Saint-Germain Castle (or Montjovet Castle), of uncertain origins, marked the history of the Aosta Valley, passing from the Savoy to the Challant family, before finally returning to the Savoy in 1438. Used as a military garrison by Amadeus VIII, it was abandoned in 1661 when the garrison was transferred to the Bard Fort.

Completing the site is the Church of Saint-Germain: a small Romanesque building that, through frescoes and architectural details, preserves the spiritual memory of the local community.

Via Francigena

Highlight • Trail

In this stretch, the Via Francigena follows the ancient Roman route of the Via delle Gallie, where the paving retains the ruts of millennia-old carts. Connecting Augusta Prætoria to the Alpine passes, this strategic road shaped the landscape with rest stops and villages, some of whose names still indicate the distance in miles from the city. Traveling it today means experiencing a direct connection between the spiritual journey of medieval pilgrims and the engineering of the Romans.
