A treasure chest containing history, nature and ancient traditions

In the Lower valley and Mont Avic tourist area you can rediscover the charm of rural life and the distant echoes of ancient legends and historical facts.

A riot of bunches of grapes and terraced vineyards, in which mighty chestnut trees alternate with bushes of wild berries, while the fragrance of wild flowers mixes with the scent of freshly baked black bread or roasted chestnuts. A land in which rivers of excellent wine flow, so valuable that the first Controlled Designation of Origin label of the Aosta Valley was born among its barrels in Donnas.
Taste the delicious Chambave Muscat wine and the Lard d'Arnad POD and let yourself be conquered by the authentic and genuine flavours of this land.

Here stand castles and fortresses, the scene of fierce battles and intrepid exploits, such as Napoleon's siege of the Fort of Bard, or the tenacious resistance of Catherine of Challant within the walls of the manor of Verrès.

Also discover the wild side of this area in the Mont Avic natural park, among its pine forests and its bodies of water that extend between Champorcher and Champdepraz.
A territory that lends itself to being discovered on foot as pilgrims and wayfarers have done over the centuries along the "Via delle Gallie" consular road and the Via Francigena, crossing medieval villages and bridges of centuries-old beauty.

Added to the alpine environments and the numerous cultural destinations, castles and remains from the Roman era, are the entertainment options of the Saint-Vincent Casino and the lively tradition of historical carnivals in Pont-Saint-Martin and Verrès.
