It goes almost unnoticed, at the beginning of the climb, on the left.

The Roman road of the Gauls, built to connect Rome with the Rhone Valley, has in the Donnas section one of its most characteristic and spectacular points, carved out of the living rock over a length of 221 metres. In a place where in ancient times the rocky promontory plunged into the waters of the Dora, the Romans launched a real challenge to nature by carving out a living rock on which they could draw perfectly vertical walls and in whose bosom they cut the roadbed. Exciting and unusual, here the Via delle Gallie gives its best by offering the spectacle of a vaulted passage 4 metres thick, 4 metres high and almost 3 metres wide that eloquently illustrates the amount of rock removed and shows all the refinement of a road engineering never again achieved until viaducts and modern tunnels. In the Middle Ages it served as a gate to the village, which was closed at night; The other defences were of course: on one side the mountain and on the other the river. A fundamental road, much used over the centuries, as evidenced by the deep ruts left by the passage of carts and the wear of the walking surface that has been patched and repaired at various points over time. A little further on, on the right, we recognise the excellent profile of a milestone, also spared in the rocky bank, which informs us of the distance to Augusta Praetoria (the current city of Aosta): XXXVI miles (about 54 km).

The small, inconspicuous chapel is located at the junction of Via Vittorio Emanuelle II and Via Umberto I.

Beautiful and ancient stone pedestrian bridge that crosses the stream, with many pots of roses

The Ponte di Bard, also known as the Bard Bridge, is a historic arch bridge in the Aosta Valley region. This bridge spans the Dora Baltea River and connects the municipalities of Bard and Hône. The bridge is built of stone and consists of 2 arches. It connects the lower part of the village of Bard with the southeastern side of Hône, in Rue Émile Chanoux. The route of the bridge slopes slightly, from Bard to Hône. From this old and beautiful arch bridge you can admire one of the best views of the nearby Forte di Bard. The fortress, which has remained almost intact since its construction, is an impressive example of military architecture from the early nineteenth century. A walk across this bridge not only offers beautiful views of the fortress, but also a touch of history and beauty

The suggestive Bard bridge

Beautiful hamlet with a large fountain for water supplies, it's a shame that there isn't even a bar in Albard di Bard
