Jovencan Among Vineyards, History and Regional Traditions

Jovencan Among Vineyards and History

Jovencan lies among productive vineyards and orchards.

Historic Sites on the Chatelair Estate

The historic Chatelair estate is home to the medieval Castello di Jovençan, which bears the name “château des Tyrans”. North of the Castello di Jovençan is the fortified Pompiod house, which bears the name Torre dei Salassi. The historic Chatelair estate therefore contains two buildings with different names: the medieval Castello di Jovençan and the fortified Pompiod house.

The Maison des Anciens Remèdes and the Circular Trail

The Maison des Anciens Remèdes is housed in a renovated 17th-century rural house. The Anello Ru d'Arbérioz circular trail in Jovençan begins and ends at this Maison. Anyone who includes the Anello Ru d'Arbérioz in their day plan has a circular trail in Jovençan with the same starting and ending point. For day planning, this shared start and end point at the Maison is the trail's specific reference point.

Roman Past, Cattle Farming and Rebatta

Jovençan was already inhabited in Roman times; the name derives from Juventius. Cattle farming in Jovençan contributes to preserving the tradition of the Bataille de reines. Rebatta, a traditional popular sport of the Aosta Valley, is also practiced in Jovençan. Bataille de reines and Rebatta thus represent two different traditions of the Aosta Valley: the first is associated with cattle farming, while the second is a popular sport.

Mountains, Natural Arch and Historic Sites in the Surrounding Area

The surrounding area of Jovencan is home to the mountains Pointe de la Pierre, Becca France and Pointe de Metz. The natural arch Arco D'Augusto is also located in the area. For landscape planning purposes, the three mountains are therefore clearly distinct from the natural arch Arco D'Augusto.

The immediate surroundings of Jovencan also include the Roncas Palace, the historic site Teatro Romano di Aosta and the Criptoportico Forense monument. Further afield in the region surrounding Jovencan is the Castello di Fenis castle. Anyone who includes historic sites around Jovencan in their day plan will encounter three sites in the immediate surroundings and one castle further away in the region.

Bus Route 5 Between Aosta and Jovençan

Bus route 5 connects Aosta with Jovençan via the Aosta–Aymavilles route. Anyone wishing to combine Aosta and Jovençan during the same stay can include this bus route via Aymavilles in their day plan. Alongside the historic sites, mountains and regional traditions, this provides a direct transport connection between Aosta and Jovençan.

Further destinations for your plans include Challand-Saint-Victor, Pollein, Ayas, Aymavilles, Gratillon, Issime, Ozein and Pont-Saint-Martin.
