forte di bard印象
-
In the Middle Ages anyone going into and out of the Aosta Valley passed through Bard and its wonderful to see how a Fort like this and its predecessors completely dominated all of this traffic. Now a lot of money has been spent on this facility. The location is impressive, the glass lifts give great views. I suspect though that the staff have now turned the whole thing around to suit themselves. Most of the attraction was closed and there were at least 60 people in the ticket office with two people handling tickets and explaining why the different parts were closed. We gave up and walked down the five levels. A walk which was very interesting thanks to the notice boards at many points explaining the history, architecture, geology and location of a fascinating fort.

Visited Forte di Bard on the way from the mountains to Malpensa. Have seen the fort many times before as it can be easily spotted from the highway A5. Easy access by car and multiple lifts. Visited the Alpine and photography exhibitions, but you can visit the place even free of charge and take photos to the valley until the ticket office at the top of the fort.

The fort has a tremendous history related through very well designed installations , and doubles as a wonderful art museum.

The prisons which have been open since 2012 make the whole experience of the fort so much more realistic. Exhibitions however only available in Italian and French. Since I understand Italian ,I was able to enjoy the rambling of Count Cavur and the Fort's surrender to Napoleon.The lift up to the top of the Fort are free and one can then enjoy the overwhelming views but obviously the other parts inside are at a cost, just a few euros though.

at the top of a mountain, stunning fortress with modern exhibitions, often concerts and good food

Fantastic museum of the Alps, spent 3 hours there but could have stayed longer. The shop has plenty of souvenirs and nice books, T shirts...The "prisoner" exhibit is for the Napoleon aficionados.

I had for years meant to visit this fort in the middle of Val d'Aosta in northwestern Italy on the road to France and the tunnel under Mont Blanc. Being the castle was over run, after a long siege by Napeleon and virtually distroyed, much of the historical features were lost, and now is a cultural center. The village at the bottom still shows bullet holes in the building that survived the battle. Transversing the road to the top is worth the time; ride up and walk down.

Having lived nearby for some years in the 1980s I was curious to see what this very lengthy restoration and installation of exhibits in this striking but formerly closed off landmark had produced. I wasn't disappointed. Stunning vertiginous views and a really good way of getting a fresh perspective on the Valle D'Aosta. The Alpine museum is highly recommended. The interactive children's museum is also a good family experience but was only available in Italian and French at the time of our visit. This is great shame as the Valle D'Aosta is an underestimated place that fully deserves more tourist activity and the addition of English would open this up to a much wider audience.

Forte di Bard looks impressive from the motorway, but up close it is even bigger. The 4 funiculars take you up to the top and the top floors host the museum of the Alps. it is a modern museum with computer displays, projections on the walls, but also has historic stuff like old buildings, equipment used for climbing before the modern age etc.

Excellent view. Easy accessible owing to the lift. Nice info panels orund the forth with themes from history, geology, botany... Interesting Museum of the Alps. Problem = museum is lacking signs in english. Everything is written in Italina and French only. Be aware since the ticket is not cheap...
