ヴィーコ・カナヴェーゼの洞窟・トップ12

this is Villa Rubino

the real name is Villa Rubino

just before this point it is difficult to find the path, it passes right next to the last house, then continues for a short stretch that can be cycled, and then... a mule track, difficult on foot without a bike in tow, so to speak. But it can be done slowly, patience comes from the Albard plateau passed just before. Splendid areas. At the end of the mule track and the final staircase, you will be at the foot of the village of Bard, a special place.

Passage made during Erratico Gravel

Fun technical trails and stunning views!

Private castle, not open to visitors. Point from which you can still go up, direction San Giacomo to continue towards Alpe Pinalba (big bench), or go down towards Settimo Vittone. Or take the little track towards Oropa. Without forgetting the descent more or less along the crest on the blueberry paths. A small GRA 😁

The Castello di Ivrea, also known as the “Castello dalle rosse torri” (Castle of the Red Towers), is an impressive medieval castle that towers over the town of Ivrea in the Piedmont region. The castle was built in 1358 by order of Amedeo VI of Savoy, also known as the Conte Verde. It served as a symbol of Savoyard rule over Ivrea and Canavese, mainly for defensive purposes. It stands on a hill overlooking the town and the road to the Valle d’Aosta. The castle has four imposing round towers that characterize its structure. These towers, each 34 meters high, are located next to the cathedral and the bishop’s palace. The castle walls were once surrounded by a wide moat, and the only access was via a drawbridge. From the battlements, defenders could throw stones and boiling water at attackers. Unfortunately, the interior of the castle was completely dismantled and altered when it served as a political and criminal prison from 1700 to 1970. Once a stronghold of power and defense, the castle was transformed by time and the changing needs of society.

In addition to many temporary exhibitions, often aimed at promoting and learning about the culture and territory of the Aosta Valley and the Alps, the Forte di Bard includes three permanent museums. 1.) On the top floor is the Museum of the Alps. Here the secrets of the mountain have been presented through a multimedia path and interactive installations. A truly worthwhile and informative museum!!! 2.) A second museum room is dedicated to the prisons of the fort, twenty-four narrow cells (1.3 x 2 meters) distributed in four areas and accessed from a gallery decorated with historical prints and paintings that tell the story of the building. 3.) Finally, the Fortress and Border Museum of the Opera Ferdinando offers a journey through the history of the Bard through a parade of historical and plastic weapons, including scale models of defensive structures and miniature armies.
