The location and pools were great. Most pools had luke warm water with the exception of the pool at the top, which was hot. The dry sauna was hot and delightful. The inside water rooms were fun. My problem was with the staff. The young lady with brown hair and glasses who was in charge of seating for the aperitif on August 1 at 1900 was very rude. She came to our table and instead of making polite conversation with us, she told us story after story about how our home country was full of stupid people, we don't know geography, our food is bad, and we all go around waving guns. Although she has never been to our home country, she was sure to tell us everything wrong with it. It was uncomfortable and insulting.

Amazing experience! From the very beginning staff were nice and helpful, the service was great throughout. The location is absolutely perfect - you swim in the hot water underneath the snowy Mont Blanc. The views and scenery is gorgeous. The place’s facilities are great, the have plenty of hot baths (covered and outside) so it is never too crowded, and they have saunas, relaxing area, massages and lunch. The food at lunch was excellent as well. You receive everything you need - a towel, slippers and a robe, and even a change of robe if you have lunch. The shower area is very well equipped and well designed. Absolutely recommended!

Not the best experience at this spa, we went there at 6, and given a happy hour at 6:45. Which we completely missed because there is only a single clock hidden in one of the buildings. Also we where not told that there are no food options on the premises, so we went hungry for our time there. Many people brought their phones in to take pictures, videos and face time, this made us uncomfortable. I would not recommend people going to this spa for a relaxing time, the view is wonderful, but you don't need to be in this spa to see it. Also there where no employee's to speak to about issues.

The facilities are great. The Lady with classes working in the Bistro was very rude. We were not informed that the Bistro was only available up until a certain time. We missed the slot and were Rudely expelled

Absolutely stunning spa getaway in the mountains. Went here while on a rest day in Coumayeur hiking along the Tour du Mont Blanc, and it was the highlight of my rest. Felt refreshed to get back on the trail the next day.

The views are beautiful. However, Was extremely disappointed here. (Only used spa and had lunch and aperitif) Have been to various QC TERME and this has to be the worst for service. The hospitality staff were rude and I wont go back to this particular qc. That being said every other QC has everything.

The terme was nice and relaxing, but there were no signs to help people find their way, especially to the upstairs rooms. First-timers might miss the stairs. Better guidance is needed, and people with lone hair should be asked to tie their hair more properly.

Beautiful breathtaking view from terrace and good prices in inside restaurant...

Duuuude! It was amazing. The dizziness from 30% less oxygen than 20 minutes ago, the view, the cold, the... did I mention THE VIEW!!?!? Worth every cent.

Breathtaking view from here. Amazing experience. One of the best experiences and things to do. You must visit it. Highly recommended. Never forgetting this feeling

A breathtaking journey to the highest peak in the Alps on the Italian-French border Starting from the Italian city Courmayeur, a charming town 1,300 meters above sea level, I began my ascent via the Skyway Monte Bianco. I purchased a round-trip ticket for €63.5 at the main station. Punta Helbronner (3,467 m): The final destination was magical. The temperature dropped to around 1.8°C with a light wind, making it refreshingly crisp. From here, a 92-meter below a tunnel leads to a ski station and an open-air restaurant. I made my way to the top terrace—what a view! Standing above the clouds with 360° views of the Alps was an indescribably beautiful and humbling experience. Highly recommended for nature lovers, adventure seekers, and anyone craving awe-inspiring scenery #SkywayMonteBianco #PuntaHelbronner #MontBlanc #AlpineAdventure #Courmayeur #ItalyTravel #MountainViews #ExploreItaly #AlpsExperience

Breathtaking panoramic views of the highest mountain in Europe. Even though I was there at a pretty cloudy day, view was just one of its kind. I was disappointed that the triple cable car was open only one way to France, and nobody could return (because of different regulations).

Wonderful day trip in summer up this mountain via cable car. Don't miss the Refugio and the area covered in snow beside the Refugio.

Stunning views of mountain peaks, an entire glass wall dedicated to local gemstones alongside a view of Mont Blanc and a lovely little cafe where you can sip quality coffee while you admire the peaks! Even though during my visit there were quite a few clouds, the various platforms and views from this height were spectacular. It does get cold at the top observation deck (since you are standing around) so I would recommend an ultralight down! To get around the observation decks (external) you do need to do some stairs, but the building (internal) itself with the cafe and viewing areas is fully accessible! From this point, you could pay for the additional trip on the Mont Blanc Panoramic cable car that takes you over to Aiguille du Midi! I would also recommend going early- so you get fewer clouds and crowds!

I must have travelled the freeway below this massive fort controlling the narrow passage between the steep and dangerous mountain sides more than a hundred times over the past 30 years without reflecting on what you might find inside. This time I took a day trip from home in Switzerland with the aim to discover this surprisingly interesting place steeped in history lasting over 800 years. It's now owned and administered by the region of Aosta and houses 6 museums, a large museum shop, a cozy 11 room hotel and restaurant as well as a café. If you buy a simple entrance ticket you will access two exhibitions of your choice, if you want to see all six museums, the price is about double the ordinary entrance fee. There is ample parking around the castle, the near-most being paying. Access is either via an ingenious series of funiculars or by foot on a winding road. Avoid visiting on a busy day not to spend your time waiting to access the funicular system. I came on a Friday afternoon mid May 2025 and was surrounded by 15 year olds trying to learn Italian history, not the most serene situation. You do need a full day to fully appreciate the place so I will come back to spend a night here before touring the premises.

So much to see here! There are 5? main buildings, each housing different museums and (temporary, rotating) art exhibits. Costs €12 to visit 2 of any things of your choice or €24 to visit everything. But you can visit all the exterior fort for free! This is definitely worth it if you want a quick look and get a good view from the top of the Fort. If you want to visit the museums, you'll need a few hours to spare! Our 2 choices were both in the Carlo Alberto building (at the top). We did the Museum of the Alps which has SO MUCH to see, and quite the diversity of history and information. This took us 2 hours and we didnt look too closely at half of it. Could definitely take 2-4 hours depending on your interests. Absolutely 1 of the best ways to spend a solid chunk of your day here. 2nd, we did the prisons downstairs in the same building. This was cool but much quicker (like 30 mins). It was a toss up between the prison and the Ferdinando building at the bottom.. unsure what all that offers or the time it takes to visit. In total we spent about 3 hours here, and could have spent much longer if we got the full package. Lots of history here and offers a neat view of the valley. I would recommend it, but again, you'll need time if you want to visit any museums. I personally didnt care to visit any of the art exhibitions. From what I've gathered, they kind of have nothing to do with the Fort itself, so didnt seem worth any of my 2 choices.

Have you even been to Valle d’Aosta if you haven’t visited Forte di Bard? The structure is just impressive in its size and location! Inside is pretty bare, but the museums and exhibits are super interesting.

The castle is beautiful, no doubt there. However, we wanted to take a quick walk within the walls, and there is unfortunately no ticket allowing you to just stroll around. You have to purchase a ticket for 12e which allows you to enter 2 out of 6 available exhibitions/ “museums”. Maybe it would not be that frustrating if a couple in front of us wasnt allowed to enter for free by stating “we only came for a walk” in italian. We checked the japanese exhibition which was rather mediocre, not much to learn from it. We would appreciate some story behind and more descriptions behind the pictures. The other exhibitions was the prisons which was more interesting - you can see the real prison rooms and how the castle was evolving over time.

Wonderful place . Breathtaking and perfect for a day with children . Nice museums, nice view and the staff was really nice .

19th-century fortress, part of the fortifications of the Aosta Valley. The fortress is well maintained and houses a rich permanent exhibition (about forts and fortresses throughout history), as well as interesting temporary exhibitions. Entrance tickets: - €12 for visiting the fortress itself and two exhibitions - €24 for visiting five exhibitions Both tickets include access to the lifts. The ticket price is absolutely worth it.

Loved it. Beautifuly renovated fort with abundant museum and theatre spaces.

This is my 3rd trip to ski Cervinia. First time I actually stayed 7 days in town. I had a group of 8 people and we all agreed we would definitely go back. The town was easy to get around. Had plenty to do before and after skiing. The people were very friendly. The food was fantastic. The hotel was fantastic! The skiing and weather was second to none. Definitely plan on returning. A+ all the way around...

one of the best ski resorts in Europe. Thanks to the glacier and the high altitude - above 3500m - there will always be snow and skiing conditions. And the incredible beauty of the landscapes.

Perfect ski resort. Very recomemded especialy for beginners. The town itself is small and very nice, but not a real apre ski atmosphere. I advise to find a place to stay close to the Cretaz lift.

The best landscape ever: the Matterhorn is superbe, Les Grand Murailles are impressive, on the Plateau Rosa glacier you feel like touching the sky.

Cervino Ski Paradise is truly one of my favorite ski resorts in the world. The slopes are incredibly well-maintained, the views of the mountains are breathtaking, and there’s a perfect mix of runs for all levels. The lifts are fast and efficient, and the whole area has a wonderful alpine charm that makes every day on the snow a joy. The only thing I wish could be improved is accessibility for younger skiers and snowboarders: it would be amazing if prices were a bit more affordable for those under 30, making it easier for more people to experience this incredible place. Still, despite that, Cervino remains an unforgettable destination for any snow season lover.

Nice ski resort with great views especially the Matterhorn. Was very warm beginning of April so the snow became very wet and heavy early afternoon but this was to be expected for the time of year. Great skiing for beginners and intermediates. Some flat and uphill sections would benefit from a magic carpet or rope pull

Good number of runs across all levels and the ability to ski over at Zermatt as well is definitely a plus. Just be mindful of the time and not miss the last lift up to be back over at the Italian side as it can be a costly affair to miss the last lift back! View at the top is amazing!

Very good quality starters (cold cuts and cheeses) typical from Italy and Spain. We chose Pasta (very Well cooked) accompanied with an artisanal beer. Nice desserts and friendly staff. We loved it. Didn’t give 5 starts because the restaurant itself is not “wow”, just a simple cozy bottega. But food-wise definitely worth it!!

Had a wonderful lunch with the family today. I definitely recommend the cured meats and cheeses platters, as well as the tagliatelle with culatello and parmesan! But generally speaking we were satisfied with the food and wine. The location is cosy, especially the 'underground' area. Service is nice, and you can purchase most of the products you have enjoyed after eating (which we definitely have done!) - we will come back!

The food was amazing, we tried the cheese and ham plate, that was really good. Beyond that, we tasted the tagliatelle and the polenta that were excellent. But, unfortunately, our experienced was affected by one staff that didn’t treat us very welcoming when we tried to get a table in the restaurant.

Cosy undergroud seating area with big selection of wines. Great for apperrativo, amazing Prosecco

Delicious lunch here, a cute little 7 seat restaurant with wonderful local dishes and an amazingly inexpensive wines by the glass list. I only wish we had more of an appetite so we could have tried some of the meats and cheeses they had in their shop, but the tagliolini with butter, parm and white truffles was perfect, and the polenta in the La Carbonade was one of the best I’ve had!

A little pricey and they won't serve you tap water : you have to buy an expensive bottle. Other than that, great food and nice staff!

Amazing food and wine plus 10/10 service - our favourite meal of the week hands down. If you are in Aosta this is a must!

Very well restored castle in western Italy. Visit is by your only which seems to leave every half hour. Out guide did not speak English but tried nevertheless very hard to accommodate us, which was not an issue because there are good explanation signs at each stop. A very interesting historical site dating back to the 1200's.

Well preserved castle in a beautiful area in north italy (Aosta). Visiting is by guided tour only. The tour is in Italian, and you can rent audio translation aids. The tour takes about 40-45 minutes and walks through most main chambers of the castle. The art is well preserved. Recommended stop on your way to the Italian Alps.

A classic pentagonal fortress, with towers and walls, long abandoned and used by the locals as a warehouse until its restoration, commissioned by an architect on behalf of the State. The large fireplace in the center of the castle is beautifully designed taking into account the cold and the need to keep the interior warm. The visit lasts about an hour, guided only, with numerous insights into the history of the castle and small peculiarities of the past, such as the almost sitting position during the night's rest so as not to be mistaken for a deceased person or the small faces engraved on the towers to keep evil spirits away. Dogs allowed in a carrier. It is recommended to purchase one of the many tourist cards of the Aosta Valley to be able to visit all the sites and castles of the region.

Stunning from the outside. Pretty basic and repetitive on the inside. Rooms are not decorated, but display a loooot of wooden chests. Only visitable with Italian guide, every half hour. English audiotour available, which provides similar info as the panels in the rooms. You need to give them your id to get a audiotour.

Elegant castle from the 12th century and now owned and administered by the province of Aosta. It has been completely restored from being close to a ruin, including the many indoor and outside paintings depicting religious and noble figures. You cannot visit the castle on your own and have to wait till a guide becomes available which precludes too many people inside the premises at one time. There is a lot to be learnt about how nobles lived and traveled during past centuries including why three legged chairs were used to avoid tipping over on the uneven floor surfaces. It made me remember growing up on the tree legged chair "the ant" designed by the famous Danish architect Arne Jacobsen in the 1950-s. So nothing is really new under the sun...

Interesting history. You must go inside only with a tour, no self guided tours. Amazing artwork frescoes.

A unique experience, the castle is located on a hill with breathtaking views. Inside, it still has items from its time.

Very beautiful waterfall in a magical Alpine scenery. The entire Gran Paradiso National Park is amazing, and so is this piece. Even in September the waterfall was incredible, with a huge flow of water. We hiked for an hour to the Biolet Waterfall, not an easy route because of a steep climb but we managed. Plenty of parking at the beginning. Overall, very recommended.

Nice short hike. From the parking lot, take the left side trail that climbe up the hill to the last waterfall. From there, cross the bridge and go down to see the other waterfalls 9n your way back to the car.

Great and accessible waterfall in an amazing setting! The bar on top is outstanding

Great hike. Did the large loop to lake Loie, difficult climb so make sure you are fit enough to do this. The lake itself was cute, but the real deal is the views. Saw a marmot on some rocks on the side of the trail. Near the end of the hike appears a huge field with plenty of flowers (even in September!)

✨ The Lillaz Waterfalls are absolutely stunning and worth the visit if you are in the Cogne Valley. The walk to the falls is short, easy, and accessible, making it perfect for families, but you can also continue on longer trails if you enjoy hiking. The sound of the rushing water combined with the fresh mountain air creates a truly relaxing atmosphere. The waterfalls are divided into several tiers, so you can admire them from different viewpoints. In summer, the water sparkles beautifully under the sun, while in winter the frozen cascades are breathtaking. There are picnic areas nearby and the small village of Lillaz offers a few restaurants and cafés where you can stop after your walk. Parking is usually easy, though it can get crowded in high season. Overall, a peaceful and refreshing experience in nature—ideal for anyone looking to enjoy the beauty of the Aosta Valley. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Nice easy trek to see waterfalls. You can park at Lillaz if you want half an hour walk or start the trek in Cogne, walk to Lillaz and then continue to waterfalls

Must see, really easy hike @nrcsint Instagram

Dirty, the pools are not clean enough, you can see green mold. The water in one interior pool was not clean and it was smelly. The saunas and the jacuzzi are ok. I could not see a bar.

Nice thermal pools both indoor and outdoor. Several different saunas. One huge one overlooking the valley with spectacular views. Hot tubs with equally stunning views. The place is a bit worn and could use some renovation, but it is overall nice and clean.

We spent a full day in Therme de Saint Vincent. The entrance ticket includes the wardrobe, slippers, lunch and acces to all pools and saunas. There are 3 pools indoor - at middle level. Outside there are 2 pools - one with a spectacular view at the Aosta's Valley, and another one in the back - a little bit warmer, surrouded by trees, next to the sauna. At the upper level there are 3 jacuzzi, for 4 persons each, a very large sauna, and a very spatious relaxing room, with the same wonderful view to the Valley. There are, also, many relaxing rooms, and You can have a tastefull TEA as you wish, included. Thankyou TERME DE SAINT VINCENT for this experince, even expensive, worth all the money.

Wonderful place to refresh yourself. Sauna and hot pools. Gorgeous views. Really nice folks are helpful. Very clean and neat. Great to walk up from Saint Vincent.

Smaller therm, very clean and nice. Staff was so friendly and helpful. The terrace is the best part. My only thing was the water was not really hot, but that may just be a personal preference. Otherwise, everything was fantastic!

A very basic spa/Terme with worn out design. Their view is great though. Most of their saunas are more or less similar with each other, so no proper variety between them. The price you pay is almost the same (54€ with a rental towel) on the weekends as on QC Terme luxury spa's nearby, so choose QC Terme instead for more upsclale ecperience.

Good enough to spend here 1 day (4 hours minimum) after several days of skiing. If you want to eat - there is only a predefined set of small bites and water. I didn’t really like it but it’s good enough if you are hungry. It costs 7 euro per person.

Beautiful valley situated near Mont Blanc along Dora de Ferret (Doire de Ferret in French) river on the Italian side of the border. Swiss Val Ferret runs along La France de Ferret. The valley starts at the Col Ferret mountain. It is surrounded by mountains like Mont Dolent (3823 m) and Tour Noir (3836 m)

(Translated by Google) I tried it for the first time today and it was a great experience. The staff is very professional, our guide was Franco, a truly fantastic instructor. He made everything simple, safe and fun even though my son who is only 5 years old was also on the dinghy. (Original) Oggi ho provato per la prima volta ed è stata una bellissima esperienza.

This summer residence castle was built for the Queen Margherita of Savoy from 1899 to 2004. It must have been a major undertaking, just like the Margherita refuge that was constructed for her mountain excursions on Monte-Rosa above 4000 m altitude. You are obliged to visit the castle with a guide which will give you all the stories and anecdotes you need to understand what was going on in the royal family in the beginning of the 20th century. I had an excellent and fun guide. The only problem is that you need to have a rather good knowledge of Italian to follow the stories you are told since all guides appear to speak Italian only. When I visited a Friday mid June of 2025, the magnificent interior main stairs were unfortunately under restoration so this section was closed. You had to mount to the first floor via the main tower in a staircase that was used by her guards. The restoration of the castle after it had been purchased by the region of Aosta had managed to recover parts, but far from all of the original furniture. There is one of the rooms on the 1st floor where there are photographs documenting how it looked like in daily life at the time the queen was here as well as of her husband Umberto I. The view from the glassed veranda over parts of Monte-Rosa is exquisite.

In the middle of the mountains, with breathtaking landscapes: the fairytale castle of the queen. The one-hour guided tour tells how the queen decided to build the castle in that small village, the five years it took to complete the work - from 1899 to 1904, how the king never set foot in the castle and the modernization with heating and electricity. From the Pont-Saint-Martin motorway exit to the Castle it takes about an hour by car. Dogs allowed in a carrier. We recommend purchasing one of the many Valle d'Aosta Cards to visit all the sites and castles.

We decided to do the tour. The guide had explained everything about the Castle and the Savoia's family. He was very friendly.

Amazing place to visit in the middle of the mountains. Nothing to do with the very touristic and crowded places. The environment is so peaceful. I could learn a lot from here.

It’s really like a fairy tale castle. Modest price to enter (10€) and you get also a tour guide for the group entrance at the same time. You can walk the grounds at your leisure and enjoy the beautiful landscape and the park. The guide will show you the rooms in the castle and explain a lot of the history. If you’re having a summer holiday in Gressoney, don’t miss to see it, it’s definitely worth it. A couple of hours well spent.

The castle itself is magical, seems like it has been taken out of a fantasy film. Truly beautiful, wonderful scenery in the forest and with Monte Rosa views. We entered the castle for a small fee of a few Euros, but the only way is with a guided tour, which was in Italian so we didn’t understand. It was a shame that the main staircase, supposed to be the most beautiful feature, was in maintenance work. The tour was for an hour and you could not move freely. Despite the subtle disappointment from the tour and maintenance work, the castle was amazing and worth it.

Wonderful house, not really a castle as it’s not fortified. The views of the Monte Rosa massif are the reason the house was built here and they are magnificent. We did a guided tour in Italian only so were a little lacking in detail and had to mostly rely on the short English descriptions in the rooms. One of our party was on crutches at the time of visiting and was finding stairs difficult to negotiate. We enquired about a lift and were told there was one. There was indeed a lift but it was not working - quite annoying and no refund or reduction was offered. On balance worth a visit particularly with older kids as they get a fantastic reduction. Senior citizens on the other hand get no concession whatsoever.

Residence of the Challant family, changed hands over time and became the realization of Vittorio Avondo's dream. The one-hour guided tour is useful for understanding the history of the place and the meaning of its many symbols. We recommend purchasing the ticket on abbonamentomusei.it to visit all the castles and sites of the Aosta Valley. Dogs allowed in a carrier. Free parking nearby.

Extraordinary castle, presently early June of 2025 under renovation. I strongly recommend you prepare your visit by reading about its history. Your are obliged to take a guided tour which will enrich your experience. Our group had a very sympathetic guide who easily explained in French or English if you couldn't follow his jokes in Italian.

The outside may not be the most impressive, but the interiors are magnificent. With beautiful fresco's and medieval graffiti throughout the entire castle. We were the only non-italians in our group, but the lovely guide made a lot of effort to also do some English explanation for us.

From the street it seems anything but a castle and you could have the will to come back because it would seem worth chump change from parking lot. Don't go away! Once entered you can see one of the best preserved castle of Valley. And it's huge with a lot of frescoed rooms. 5€ for a guided visit it's the worth of it (free for children with less than 6 years). Very competent guide in Italian language.

Beautiful castle in a wonderful area with scenic views. We were recommended a stop here by a local guide and we were so glad we didn’t skip it. The tour is in Italian but you are given written information and there is one video that can be viewed in English if you ask the tour guide. The rooms and restorations are marvellous, especially the frescos and the preserved colouration. It was also fun to try and decipher all the middle age graffiti on the walls. Highly recommended.

After visiting most of the castles in Valle d’Aosta, I have to say this is my favourite for the quality of the guided tour, the amount of rooms accessed, and of course the well-preserved frescoes!

From the outside it doesn't look too attractive. Really. But inside... so many interesting and unique exhibits and wall paintings. Go there if you are interested in history.

just wow ! breathtaking panoramic views.

Beautiful park with well maintained trails. We visited this park to climb the Gran Paradiso. Trails to Rifugio Chabod were easy to follow and well maintained. Parking was accessible and safe. We left our car there a few days.

Its a national park that has villages around it, so lots of places to stay. We stayed in a very rustic village called Ozein in the northern part, and Locana in the south. The trails are very challenging, and mostly not circular. We are a retired couple, so we always did half a trail and enjoyed ourselves. The only place with official information and staff to help you is near the town of Cognes next to an Alpine botanical garden, don't miss it. It was sad to see many abandoned hamlets due to depopulation. Look for the Chamois and martens they are reall cute. Driving on the narrow roads id challenging, so be careful.

What ordinary people could write about the one of the most beautiful parts of the one of the most beautiful countries in the world? Enjoy in the endless natural attractions, peaceful landscape, plants animals and friendly people...

Great relaxing in nature with a small town

Beautiful landscape, advised for spending some time in the nature. Stunning view of the Gran Paradiso peak surrounded by other mountains and a few turquoise lakes. The best natural park you'll find in northern Italy with plenty of hiking trails leading to the summits to fully enjoy your tour, gifting an incredible view of the valley underneath.

This place is a must go in Piemonte

Fantastic experience, the sight and the history hidden underground😍Imagine how it were once upon a time 😲

Roman remains near Aosta Cathedral, small part of a what was a huge complex, forming part of a Roman Forum complex, with some impressive underground structures - archways, of the Augustan era. A clear example of ancient Rome's brilliant engineers. Recommended visiting, with an audio / visual presentation at the very end of the complex below, all at a reasonable price.

some time inside this underground space will take you to the early 1st c AD. Take a slow walk through this place and you will have an idea about the designers that lived back in the day. No English guide (use Grok for some help)

Hello 👋 It seems a long corridor mysterious, with music,you feeling emerged in a ancient era . By the way, that day was free ( it was a Wednesday,I don't know the very reason why)

I didn’t expect to much for something quite small but Romans have left quite huge amount of stone history … not much fir like 20min but still worth it

Stunning and a bit hidden. Very well preserved and maintained, very nice to visit on a hot summer day, very well made illustrative film playing on loop in italian and then English too. A must do.

Excellent attraction with a great video in Italian and French, very informative about the Aosta history and how the crypt was built. Particularly fascinating to see the CG reconstruction of the town. Entrance is paid for as part of the day pass from the tourist office at the Praetorian gate.

I went to see the marmots and it was their lunch time at 11 o'clock, I fell in love with them! The environment was very clean and interesting, I recommend you to visit it up close.

We visited Parc Animalier with our family (our curious 12-year-old and our lively little 6-year-old) and it turned out to be a fantastic day! The park offers the chance to see some of the most iconic animals of the Aosta Valley up close. While they are, of course, in enclosures, it is immediately clear that they are well cared for, and the whole environment feels natural and respectful. Our children absolutely loved the experience, discovering animals they had only read about before, and we ended up spending almost three peaceful hours wandering through the park. The atmosphere is calm, family-friendly, and perfect for a relaxing outing in nature. A truly enjoyable visit... both educational and fun for kids and adults alike. Definitely recommended if you are exploring the region with your family!

Amazing lookout for animals in a very quiet and well arranged stroll in the hilly and woody areas! 100% recommended for children of all âge, and adults too. Parking is a short walk however, and the park is definitely not accessible for trolleys of any kind.

The park extends on a uneven surface, the pathways go up a gentle hill but they are sometimes small and irregulars, not very stroller friendly and this is an important issue if you want your kids (and yourself) to enjoy the visit. That said, the experience is great: many mountain wild animals kept in their natural environment and left at their own devices, you won't see guards trying to catch the animals' attention or putting on a show for you so everything is very realistic. Depending in the time of the day the animals will be more or less active, but in general a noiseless environment is what will grant you the best experience so do keep your children quiet, this will teach them to respect nature and have patience. You may eat your own take-away lunch or sandwiches, there are two picnic spots fully functioning (no heating thou) and many discreet toilets along the way. The park is well shaded by high trees, the weather is family friendly. On the practical side: there are two official parking lots, not very spacious, be prepared to go there early in the day or to go round a bit. At the entrance you'll find a shop, full of plushies and other park gadgets, they are a bit pricey but cute nonetheless.

This Animal Park was really good!! The staff were friendly and spoke English. It took us 2h to check the animals and we were lucky enough to see animals eating close to the fences. In overall the animals were well visible and this was a better experience than in many zoo experience where you are lucky to see the animals doing something rather than just sleep. One of us were sick and was coughing so just that you know that the European Blue Jay is not sick if you hear him coughing too (voice mimicking)😉

There is a like small zoo where you can see the wild animals inhabiting VALLE D'AOSTA nearby. Good for the family who has around 3-10 years kids. You can see animals nearby. The park inside has picnic areas. You can bring your lunch or you can buy lunch at Ape Food. Very clean and comfortable place!

A cute little park to see some of the local fauna. Enjoyable especially for small children. Some of the animals were easier to watch and others required a bit of time to come out. The park had signs and descriptions.

Lovely walk up the cobblestone path to get to the building, nicer little walk around the yard outside, but once you get inside, it's another story. Every room is dead empty, no furniture, no signs, just polished concrete floors (a very odd choice) and big rooms full of air. It's a real shame as we had just come from Fenis castle which is miles and miles better than this one!

Massive medieval cubic fortification which has been carefully restored without putting any furniture inside which creates beautiful negative space allowing you to admire the brutal beauty of the space. I could easily image dancing waltz on the polished concrete floor in one of the large rooms. The acoustics must be impressive. You are allowed to visit without a guide but I strongly recommend you take a guided tour to enrich your knowledge. On the northern side of the castle there is a small meadow with oak-trees where I only missed being served a glass of Selosse champagne.

Wonderful building! Very carefully restored. I am amazed about the architectural skills of the builders-every fortifying detail is well done and with thought! Unfortunately in every castle in the region there is only tour guides in italian, which is a strange decision..

One of my most beautiful places I have been I wish I could live there 🙏 ✌️👍

We stopped here so the kids could stretch their legs. It was empty inside which was great for them to run around. Very cool inside and out but it’s not the most memorable castle you’ll see.

The medieval architecture of the castle is truly amazing. The only downsize is that you have to walk uphill for 10mins so it is not accessible for all. Otherwise, amazing!

Originally a military outpost then abandouned and restored. Every stone tells a story, traps, walls, loopholes, battlements. Absolutely fascinating. The walk up to the Castle is demanding but it's an important part of the visit. It helps you understand how impregnable the Castle was. Only guided tours.
