Fénis Castle

Highlight • Castle

Located in the Valle d'Aosta region of Italy, the Castello di Fénis is one of the most famous medieval castles in the region. It attracts visitors with its abundance of towers and battlements. Although it has an impressive defensive structure, it is located on a small hill and not in an inaccessible place. In fact, it was originally intended as a prestigious residence for the Challant family. The courtyard has a semi-circular stone staircase and wooden balconies. At the top of the stairs is a 15th century fresco of Saint George slaying the dragon. The rooms are decorated with wooden furniture from that period.

Cycle Path Along the Dora River

Highlight • Cycleway

Beautiful cycle path, excellent example of how public money can be spent well.
The stretch closest to the Dora, immediately after Septumian, is currently covered in sand after the last flood of the river at the beginning of the summer

Railway bridge over the Dora.

Highlight • Bridge

Railway over the Dora. Worse were the consequences of the previous floods. The cycle path was no longer recognisable and transformed into a single sandy plain.
