Cultural attractions in Aymavilles

Castello di Aymavilles features a museum tour spread across four levels. The tour includes guided visits and multimedia installations. The four levels give the tour a vertical progression, while the guided visits and multimedia installations shape different forms of presentation.

The crypt of Saint-Léger is part of the church of the same name, which dates from the 18th century, and dates back to the early Middle Ages. The façade of Saint-Léger Church is completely covered with frescoes. The church and crypt therefore bring together different historical periods within the same sacred context.

The Cave des Onze Communes includes a small museum dedicated to local winemaking. Local winemaking represents an independent cultural point of reference alongside the museum tour and the church.

Hiking routes with specific details

The Aymavilles (Moulin)–Pont d'Ael hike is classified as E – Escursionistico, is 3.567 km long and has an elevation gain of 232 m. The exact length and elevation gain are two separate details for planning walking time and breaks. When estimating the time required for the route, you can consider both values separately; the E – Escursionistico classification remains an additional detail about the route.

The Aymavilles–Turlin route follows the old path used by the farmers of Aymavilles to reach the alpine pastures and remains a walking route through the forest. The former connection with the alpine pastures comes from its use by the farmers of Aymavilles. Today, the route remains a walking path through the forest, thereby combining a historic route with a clearly defined landscape setting.

Activities on the Dora Baltea

Hydrospeed, rafting, kayaking and canyoning are available on the Dora Baltea in Aymavilles. The four activities form a separate area alongside the hiking trails and cultural attractions. When planning a trip, you can therefore treat the river activities as a separate focus alongside the museum tour and forest paths. Their shared geographical reference is the Dora Baltea in Aymavilles.
