Holiday apartment in Quart: Culture, mountains and Fontina

For your trip to Quart, different interests come together: culture, mountain landscapes, active experiences and regional dairy farming. If you are planning a holiday apartment in Quart, you can include historical traces, striking natural features, physical activity and regional products in your considerations.

Culture between Prehistory and History

The rock carvings of Vollein on the rounded hill consist of small cup marks as well as wave-shaped and meandering grooves. They are closely connected with the Neolithic necropolis and can therefore presumably be assigned to the same period, the beginning of the 3rd millennium BC. The rock carvings introduce an archaeological theme into the landscape and complement the historical themes with their own temporal dimension. Anyone interested in early settlement traces will find an unusual subject here for the cultural part of their trip.

The Castello di Fenis, Roncas Palace, the historic site Teatro Romano di Aosta and the Criptoportico Forense monument are located in the vicinity of Quart. This allows you to focus your cultural interests in different ways and include historic sites with various points of emphasis in your travel plans.

The Torre Palmier in Larey (Villair) dates from the 13th century, is part of the Casaforte di Larey and was significantly altered by a renovation in 1972. Its medieval dating and subsequent alteration make the Torre a distinctive historical detail in the surroundings of Quart.

Mountains and Active Experiences

The mountain Becca di Nona, the Punta Rossa peak and Monte Faroma are located in the vicinity of Quart. The natural arch Arco D'Augusto is also nearby. Vollein also has an equipped climbing facility. If you would like to combine physical activity and landscape, these specific destinations can shape your daily plans.

Fontina and Dairy Farming

The name of the famous cheese Fontina may be derived from Alpe Fontin, which is located in Quart. Dairy farming remains strongly established in Quart. As a result, regional cuisine has its own importance alongside the historical and landscape-related themes and offers you another perspective for shaping your trip.
