Saint-Pierre in the centre of the Aosta Valley

The Hôtel-Residence Château stands in the centre of Saint-Pierre (650 metres above sea level), a little place in the centre of the region along the street to Courmayeur.

It is geographically placed in an ideal starting point to have some walk to the side valleys as Cogne, Rhemes, Valsavarenche and Valgrisenche, maybe discovering the Grand-Paradis National Park flora and fauna, for a peacefulness holiday.

On the contrary, if you love dynamic week-ends, you can throw yourself in breathtaking descents on the ski runs of the many resorts of the neighbourhood. You can also reach the borders of France and Switzerland easily.

The Hôtel-Residence Château, which is placed out of the chaos of Aosta, allows at the same time to reach the centre of the town in 10 minutes by car (bus or train), meeting with lodging demands of professional men, office-workers and students, on business in the regional province. Even students and doctors of the Regional Hospital are welcome.

History and culture in Saint-Pierre

Saint-Pierre is an historical and cultural site whose most important attractiveness are castles with their museums.

Castle of Saint-Pierre
Dating back to the eleventh century, it vertically stands on a rocky spur on our hotel. This fairy castle is maybe the most photographed monument in the Aosta Valley, thanks also to its four lateral small towers that make it almost as a Disneyland castle.
The interior of the building houses the Regional Museum of Natural Science.

The Regional Museum of Natural Science
It is divided into nine rooms which offer to the visitors the natural environment of the Aosta Valley and its many sides : mineralogy, geology, flora and fauna with a special regard to the magnificent stuffed chamois and ibex, the masters of the Grand Paradis National Park.

Castle of Sarriod de la Tour
Not very far from the most famous castle of Saint-Pierre but with a more harmonious aspect, the more authentic castle of Sarriod de la Tour stands, surrounded by meadows and orchards. Open to the public all year round, this medieval residence dating back to the fifteenth century deserves a visit, above all to the hall of honour, whose coffered ceiling is decorated with more than 800 carved figures, and for the frescos decorating the chapel, dating back to 400.

These two important monuments constitute a privilege of Saint-Pierre, called “the country of castles”, but the Hôtel-Residence Château can be an important starting point to besiege the other castles of the region:

• Castle of Aymavilles, 2 km far from Saint-Pierre
• Castle of Sarre, 3 km far from Saint-Pierre
• Castle of Fenis, 25 km far from Saint-Pierre
• Castle of Ussel, 40 km far from Saint-Pierre
• Castle of Verres, 46 km far from Saint-Pierre
• Castle of Issogne, 47 km far from Saint-Pierre
• Fortress of Bard, 54 km far from Saint-Pierre
