Quart Castle stands on a high rocky cliff and appears as a majestic complex of several buildings within a fortified wall. The route of the Via Francigena passes next to it, offering remarkable landscape views.

Detour on the Cammino Balteo (Cammino Balteo and Francigena route interruption)

Highlight • Trail

The Cammino Balteo route presents a deviation (common to the Via Francigena): due to a collapse of some boulders on the path, the normal path of the Via Francigena is diverted (the dirt road which from Quart castle proceeds towards Verney is not passable , then you need to go up in the direction of Beato Emerico and then go back down and resume the regular route of the stage).

After the wonderful hike, we're off to an aperitif and then to the restaurant, after which I'll write the tour report 🍺🍝
Here in the Aosta Valley, the irrigation systems are called Ru or Beai. When I read about it, I planned this lovely tour. Right in Veynes, I walked through beautiful old houses; there are fountains everywhere, and I …

The Three Ru Route: a journey through history and nature

This itinerary could be called the Three Ru Route since it winds along three historic hydraulic canals: the Ru Suverou, the Ru Prévot and the Ru Pompillard.
