Holiday apartment in Aymavilles: Culture, trails and water experiences

Aymavilles combines culture, outdoor activities and water experiences into a diverse destination. The Castello di Aymavilles, the Saint-Léger church, forest trails and the Dora Baltea offer different focal points for your days on holiday.

Castle and activities on the Dora Baltea

The Castello di Aymavilles features a museum tour extending across four levels. Guided tours and multimedia installations make the tour a varied cultural experience. In Aymavilles, the Dora Baltea also offers hydrospeed, rafting, kayaking and canyoning for adults and children.

Hikes with different profiles

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. Another option is the Aymavilles–Turlin route: it follows the old path used by the farmers of Aymavilles to reach the alpine pastures and is still a walking route through the forest. For planning your day, both routes provide specific points of reference—one with its distance, classification and elevation gain, the other with the character of a historic forest path.

Saint-Léger and sacred architecture

The crypt of Saint-Léger is part of the church of the same name, dating from the 18th century, and originates from the Early Middle Ages. A particularly striking detail of the church is its façade, which is completely covered with frescoes.

The right holiday apartment for your daily plans

When choosing your holiday apartment in Aymavilles, you can first decide which of these specific experiences should shape your holiday. The Castello and Saint-Léger represent culture, the route to Pont d'Ael and the forest path to Turlin represent outdoor activity, while the offerings on the Dora Baltea include hydrospeed, rafting, kayaking and canyoning.
