The castle was built in 1271 by Anselmo and Aimone D´Avise on a steep promontory over the orographic right bank of the Dora Valgrisenche, in a position dominating the entrance to the valley of the same name.
Today it is reduce to ruins, but preserves the cylindrical tower, crowned with beautiful swallowtail battlements. It is still possible to see the remains of the ancient castle and the boundary wall.
Access is only possible on foot, along the path that leaves from the village of Grand Haury, just above Arvier.
Note - this information is not directly connected to the Cammino Balteo path but it is part of the Aosta Valley tourist offer.
