Beautiful castle or at least what remains… the castle is now closed to the public, but it remains a beautiful place to visit, with its ruins to explore and photograph.

Challand-Art is located close to the natural reserve of Lake Villa and winds along the path that connects the lake to Colle d'Arlaz, along a splendid mixed forest interspersed with open and panoramic areas. Along the path you will encounter unique works of art made with natural materials: earth, leaves, wood, stones, iron
