TABLE OF CONTENTS
One of the symbols of Sarre is undoubtedly the Castle of Sarre, also known as the Royal Castle. This historic building, originally built in the 13th century and later renovated in the 18th century, became a favorite residence of the House of Savoy. The castle has a panoramic location, offering spectacular views of the valley. Inside, visitors can explore richly decorated rooms and discover numerous objects that tell the story of the royal family and its passion for hunting, a favorite activity of King Victor Emmanuel II during his stays in the Aosta Valley.
Another place of great interest is the Church of Sant Maurice. This church, dedicated to St. Maurice, represents a significant example of the area's sacred architecture. The structure has undergone several modifications over the centuries, which have enriched its style and history. The interior holds valuable works of art and decorations that deserve to be admired. It is a place of worship but also of tranquility, where one can immerse oneself in spirituality and silence.
For lovers of adventure and climbing, Sarre is a must-see destination. In fact, it is home to the famous Tetto di Sarre, a 45-degree sloping rock face that is a challenge for sport climbers. This spot has been made famous by the routes opened by Alberto Gnerro, one of Italy's greatest climbers, who traced some of the country's most difficult routes on this very slate of rock. Among the most famous feats are "The Miser" and "Ground Zero," which is the first Italian 9a. These routes are a mecca for experienced climbers, but even those who are just curious can witness breathtaking displays of skill and physical endurance.
Sarre is an ideal destination in both summer and winter. During the warm season, the cool climate and the surrounding nature offer an excellent opportunity to practice sports such as hiking, mountain biking, and, of course, climbing. In winter, the proximity to the main ski resorts in the Aosta Valley makes Sarre an excellent base for those who want to ski without giving up the tranquility of a less crowded village.
Sarre is thus a versatile destination where history, culture and sports blend harmoniously. A place where every corner tells a story and every activity offers a new experience. Whether you are passionate about history or outdoor sports, Sarre will fascinate you and offer unforgettable moments in the beautiful setting of the Alps.
