Montmayeur castle was built in 1271 by Anselmo and Aimone d’Avise on a steep cliff on the right bank of the Dora of Valgrisenche stream, in a dominant position at the beginning of the valley.
Description of the route
By car, after Arvier’s church, follow the signs first for La Crête, then for Verney, Petit-Haury and finally Grand-Haury hamlets (10-minute drive).
After leaving the car in the parking lot at the beginning of Grand-Haury hamlet, take path n.2A under a vaulted passage between two old houses and continue slighty downhill crossing meadows, a drained marshy area and along a stream.
After reaching the fork with route n.2 that goes up from the other side of the valley turn right and continue until the castle remains.
