Tips from the Community
The ancient press of Clos de Barme in Arnad is one of the most evocative testimonies of traditional rural life in the lower Aosta Valley. It is a community press, meaning a collectively used piece of equipment that served the villagers for pressing grapes and producing wine. The year 1804 is engraved on a beam, likely corresponding to a modernization intervention where the press assumed its current structure. In a territory like Arnad, where viticulture has ancient roots and where the DOC Arnad-Montjovet wine based on Nebbiolo is still produced today, the press represented a crucial point of the village's economic and social life. Next to it stands the chapel dedicated to Saint Roch, testifying to the typically alpine link between the spiritual dimension and collective work. Today, the press is one of the stops on the "Chemins des Vignobles" itinerary and is located along the Via Francigena route, set within a landscape of terraced vineyards and centuries-old chestnut groves.

The Lago di Villa Nature Reserve was established in 1982 and extends over 25 hectares, at an altitude of between 810 and 980 meters, between the municipalities of Challand-Saint-Victor and Montjovet. An oasis of peace and tranquility where you can listen to the sounds of nature and observe the surrounding mountains. It is interesting to visit in every season, to admire the colors of the changing leaves, as well as the plant and animal species that populate it. Here are some technical data on the natural area: Environment: low mountain peaty lake basin, characterized by a clear contrast between the marshy environment of the lake and the surrounding arid environment. Fauna: the nature reserve represents the main regional reproductive station for the common toad. Among the reptiles there are the maraou lizard and the whip snake, while the fish fauna consists of cyprinids and eels. Flora: the lake waters are home to two very rare floating plants in the Aosta Valley, the white water lily (if you want to enjoy its bloom, the recommended months are June and July) and the amphibian polygon. The reed bed is mainly made up of common reed; the arboreal vegetation is made up of hygrophilous thickets near the banks and thickets of Scots pine and downy oak on the surrounding sunny slopes.
