The Ponte di Echallod is a picturesque pedestrian bridge in the Aosta Valley region. This stone bridge, which has been restored several times over the centuries, connects the upper and lower parts of the village of Echallod with other villages in the municipality of Arnad. The Ponte di Echallod is a classic example of 18th-century architecture. It is built with stone and mortar. The bridge has three arches with buttresses and has a symmetrical shape. It is located along the path of the old Via Francigena, which comes from Verrès and heads towards Bard and Donnas.

The ancient three-arch Echallod bridge allows you to cross the Dora Baltea river... On the bridge we find a small oratory with frescoes almost erased by time.

The Echallod bridge is a stone footbridge, among the most picturesque in the Aosta Valley. Restored several times over the centuries, it connects the hamlets of Echallod superiore and inferiore to the other villages of the municipality of Arnad, located on the left orographic side of the Dora Baltea river. The symmetrical donkey-back structure rests on three arches supported by robust buttresses. On the right abutment, there is a small shrine to protect travelers. It is crossed on foot by following the Cammino Balteo hiking trail (stage 22), which here overlaps with the Via Francigena route.
