Discovering the Villa lake reserve

Daily trip, starting from Villa from where we will continue towards Lake Villa from which the Natural Reserve established in 1982 takes its name, a small jewel that offers faunal and naturalistic peculiarities waiting to be discovered. After the stop at the lake, we will continue the excursion through the paths that surround the body of water in a decidedly arid environment full of naturalistic ideas until we reach Mont St Gilles (Punta Bandiera) where a skilled artist has created unusual and worthy works. where we will enjoy a panorama of the lower Aosta Valley and the surrounding mountains, we will end the trip with the path that leads to what remains of the castle of Villa, the ancient residence of the Challand family who reigned in the medieval period in the Aosta Valley to reach the starting point.
