Nice. I didn't find a trail that would take me directly to the castle. Excellent panorama

Those who travel along the Francigena in the direction of Aosta meet it before descending to Montalto: the castle seems to demand all the attention of the traveler. Traveling along the Pistono lake ring, it can be seen more closely and it is clear that it has benefited from extensive restoration work. On the other hand, its life was long (perhaps it was born in 1000 as a watchtower) and troubled, just think of the devastation it suffered in the 1600s from the French. Thanks to the owners, however, it has returned majestic and spectacular (it also inspired Giacosa) with the square keep, the mighty round tower, the three corner belfredi and the crenellated walls. Unfortunately it seems to be visited only occasionally.

The castle would be 10 stars. Very well kept. Too bad it is closed and there are no timetables, to be able to visit it. Very beautiful panorama in the distance the mountains, lakes and various villages. Suggestive!

Beautiful beautiful already when you see it from afar, I tried to go all the way down to see it inside but the door of the Walls was a shame because already from the outside it is very well kept ??
