Beautiful, quiet and very panoramic path on the Grivola

Châtelard Castle consists of a medieval tower isolated on a rocky spur, with an open view of the Valdigne.

Once the hustle and bustle of the day has subsided, you'll find excellent accommodation with friendly staff in a magnificent scenic location.

The Torre del Lebbroso dates back to the 13th century and stands on the western corner of the old Roman city walls of Augusta Praetoria. The tower was originally built on the foundations of an earlier Roman tower. The tower was once owned by the noble De Friour family. Later it was used as part of the Hospice de charité and served as a residence for a leper named Pietro Bernardo Guasco. The tower is also famous for the book “Le lépreux de la cité d’Aoste” (translated as “The Leper of the City of Aosta”), written by Xavier de Maistre. Today the Torre del Lebbroso belongs to the Regione Autonoma Valle d’Aosta and is used as an exhibition space.

Unreal but real. Clear water borders on blue glacier water.

Everything invites calm

White stands out against blue

Built at the end of the 15th century by Bonifacio d'Avise, the castle consists of a three-storey building flanked by a quadrangular tower. The entrance door features the motto of the lords of Avise: "Qui tost Avise tart se repent". Currently restored and open to visits, it is used for events and temporary exhibitions. Inside, what deserves particular attention is the large room with the fireplace, the furnishings with the pewter collection, the "safe room", the "shelf room", famous for the fourteen wooden shelves carved with figures of animals, monsters and characters dressed in fifteenth-century style, and the frescoes. All these elements place the Avise commission in a well-defined trend of "official" taste of the time.
