Quart Castle is currently (January 2025) undergoing conservation work. The work should be completed by summer 2025.

Travelling along the Via Francigena from Aosta to Nus, just before Quart you come across this Castle built on a hill, an enchanting and solitary place.

The hamlet of Arpuilles is a town that has around 500 residents, is rather well-kept and hosts numerous residential homes with excellent panoramic exposure.

The Ru Neuf canal originates from the Artanavaz stream at around 1250 m and was built in 1327 with the aim of irrigating the fields of the arid Aosta hill. Even today, various sections of the canal maintain their medieval character, continuing to perform the function of taking water from the stream and transporting it to the Aosta hill. The path begins at the former colony at Plan d'Avie in the municipality of Aosta, located about 8 kilometers from the center of the capital, and continues northwards to the Echevennoz hamlet of Etroubles.

Beautiful trail near a canal

Silence, only the sound of the wind and the stream... simply magical

Right next to the parking lot is the creek flowing and there are some nice places to sit, relax and enjoy the view of the mountains. There is also a small bridge, which is a nice spot to take some photos.
