The valley overlooking Saint Vincent

Highlight • Viewpoint

As far as I'm concerned, you're more likely to look at Châtillon here:
Châtillon, also known as Tschahtéyón in Valdôtain and Géschtullju in Issime Walser, is a town and comune in the Valle d'Aosta region in northwestern Italy. The city has a rich history dating back to pre-Roman times. Strategically located, Châtillon served as an important center for trade and toll collection. The castle of Châtillon, called Castello Gamba, offers beautiful views over the valley and houses the Museo di Arte Moderna e Contemporanea della Valle d'Aosta with works by artists such as J.M. William Turner.

Bovaye - Castello Gamba

Highlight • Castle

The Castello Gamba, also known as Castello Baron Gamba, is a palazzo of 20th century origins in the town of Châtillon, located on a hill in the western region of the city, near the regional hotel school. Surrounded by a park open to the public all year round, the castle offers spectacular views over the valley. It was built as a summer residence and is named after its owner, the Turin baron Carlo Maurizio Gamba. The building's architecture, influenced by the medieval revival style of the time, includes two symmetrical wings that protrude slightly from the front of the castle. Located on the rocky cliff of Crêt-de-Breil, the castle overlooks the Dora Baltea and was originally built as a declaration of love by Baron Gamba to his beloved wife, Angélique Passerin d'Entrèves, originally from Châtillon. Inside, the castle houses the Museo di Arte Moderna e Contemporanea della Valle d'Aosta, with a permanent exhibition of more than 150 works, including those of the famous Romantic painter J.M. William Turner and other artists of the 19th and 20th centuries.

Fénis Castle

Highlight • Castle

Located in the Valle d'Aosta region of Italy, the Castello di Fénis is one of the most famous medieval castles in the region. It attracts visitors with its abundance of towers and battlements. Although it has an impressive defensive structure, it is located on a small hill and not in an inaccessible place. In fact, it was originally intended as a prestigious residence for the Challant family. The courtyard has a semi-circular stone staircase and wooden balconies. At the top of the stairs is a 15th century fresco of Saint George slaying the dragon. The rooms are decorated with wooden furniture from that period.

From Fenis towards Nus (AO)

Highlight • Trail

From one castle to another. This is because from the path around this manor you can see the village of Nus with its castle at the top.

Railway bridge over the Dora.

Highlight • Bridge

Railway over the Dora. Worse were the consequences of the previous floods. The cycle path was no longer recognisable and transformed into a single sandy plain.
