두에 최고의 사이클링 경로

BY, spectacular and wide valley

currently the railway line is interrupted but we managed to leave from Chatillon by bus loading the bikes towards Aosta, then take the cycle path along the Dora Baltea mostly downhill. we found some interrupted sections with diversions

best gravel path around Aosta. Easy and flow route

Recommended route in the opposite direction because otherwise the path that goes down is quite steep and very vertical

The museum is housed in a former monastery. Its modern architecture contrasts pleasantly with the objects from the time of the Roman occupation of the valley, including anthropomorphic columns, carved bracelets and pins, bronze death masks and tools. The facade stands out with its frescoes.

The Arco di Augusto was built in 25 BC in honour of Emperor Augustus after the Roman victory over the Salassi. This impressive arch marks the northern entrance to the city and is located in line with the decumanus maximus. It is made of conglomerate blocks and has a single arch with a height of 11.40 metres. The ten half-columns on the facades and sides are decorated with Corinthian capitals. The Doric frieze, with metopes and triglyphs, adds a classical touch. In the Middle Ages it was known as Saint-Voût because of an image of the Redeemer that was placed there. During the 12th century it served as a residence for a local noble family and later as a fortress for the balestrieri. In 1716 the roof was replaced with slate due to water damage. The current appearance is the result of restoration work in 1912. Under the arch is a wooden cross, a copy of the original placed in 1449 as a votive offering against flooding from the Buthier River.

One of the most characteristic monuments of Aosta that tells of its Roman origins: built in 25 BC. by Aulo Terenzio Varrone Murena, not far from the eastern entrance of the walls.

The Casaforte di Rhins, sometimes also called the Castle of Rhins, is a medieval fortified house located in the town of Rhins, in the municipality of Roisan, in the Valle d’Aosta region. The Casaforte was built in the 11th century and was part of the fief of Rhins, which was under the authority of the Bishop of Aosta.
