    The Aymavilles castle, located on a moraine hill and surrounded by meadows and vineyards, dominates the course of the Dora Baltea and the strategic and commercial route that led to the Alpine passes including the Piccolo San Bernardo.

    Its history is very ancient, in a papal bull of 1207 it appears as a simple tower or stronghold belonging to the assets of the canons of Saint Gilles.

    This fortification subsequently underwent numerous transformations thanks to the illustrious owners who followed one another over time, starting from 1360, when the Savoys enfeoffed the jurisdiction to Aimone di Challant.

    The castle is easily recognizable for its original but elegant structure characterized by eighteenth-century stuccoes, loggias and coats of arms.

    The exterior is refined by the presence of a vast park with a fountain, from which you can enjoy a spectacular view of the entire valley floor.
