In autumn and spring you can attend the competitions of traditional sports of the Aosta Valley, real championships of local popular games: Tsan, Fiolet, Rebatta and Palet.
To these is also added the morra or moura: the aim of the game is to try to guess what score will be given by the sum of the players' two hands. Simultaneously the two players extend their arm showing the fist or extending a number of fingers of their choice from 1 to 5 with animated dialect expressions.
Il campo è situato sul colle D’Arlaz. Nelle domeniche di aprile,maggio, giugno,settembre e ottobre si possono assistere alle partite tra le varie squadre di campionato.
Orario: dalle 14.00 alle 18.00
Playing field for the practice of the Tsan.
The tsan is an ancient and popular sport from the Aosta Valley vaguely reminiscent of baseball.
It is part of the traditional Aosta Valley sports, with palet, rebatta and fiolet and it is protected by the Fédérachon Esport de Nohtra Téra.
This sport is practiced in two championships, one in spring (more important) and one in autumn, and it is not traditional in all the Aosta Valley but only in the municipalities of the central valley, between Montjovet and Aosta, in Val d’Ayas and in Valtournenche.
The green is situated in the Châtillon hills, at the Grand Tsan area.
You can reach the field in 5 minutes' walk from the town hall.
Here the teams of the Tsan Emarèse get trained.
The palet filed is the same of the bowls court.
Lillianes conserva ancora oggi una curiosa tradizione: il “gioco della Ruotta”. Si tratta di un gioco di bocce, senza un numero fisso di partecipanti, in cui il primo giocatore lancia un boccino e “chiama” il giocatore successivo, il quale lancia una boccia cercando di ripetere la traiettoria del boccino. Vince chi fa compiere alla propria boccia la traiettoria più simile a quella del boccino.
The Fiolet area is located at Lo Tzeno.
A game similar to rebatta, but in this case the ball to be hit is raised without the aid of a lever instrument. In fact, the ball (“fiolet”) in this case has an ovoid shape, with a flattened part on which it is balanced on a base, once represented by a smooth stream stone (“pira”), today by a special artefact. By skilfully hitting the fiolet, one makes it leap into the air and then hurls it as far as possible (even 150 metres). The matches, as for the rebatta, pit teams of five throwers against each other, but the fiolet also has an individual championship, which is celebrated once a year; it is called the “baton d'or” because the winner gets to keep the artistically carved “masetta” that serves as a trophy, on which the names of all the annual winners are engraved, for one year.
At the Espace Loisir La Palud.
