Montjovet among vineyards, forest paths and castles

The hilly landscape of Montjovet combines characteristic vineyards with walking paths through forests and chestnut groves. This opens up travel planning that brings nature experiences and historic buildings together. You can explore Montjovet through both its paths and landscapes and its individual buildings. The interplay of vineyards, forest and chestnut groves shapes the character of the area and helps you find your bearings.

Hikes between forest and nature reserve

The hike from Barmachande to Lago di Villa begins in the hamlet of Barmachande in Montjovet and leads via Chambis to the Lago di Villa nature reserve. The Il bosco di Arlaz hike offers a different focus: it leads into a spruce-dominated forest with abundant spring blossoms. Rock carvings and cup marks can be found on the stone slabs of the mule track. The two hikes therefore appeal to different interests: you can focus on a route with several stops or on observing nature in the forest.

Castles, church and mill

Castello di Chenal is located in the vicinity of Montjovet. The castle was built no earlier than the 13th century and belonged to the lords of Montjovet. The parish church Chiesa parrocchiale della Natività di S. Maria was built around 1830 and consecrated on 3 May 1837. At Mulino di Arlaz, another cultural site takes center stage: the mill was restored after years of decay. The dates associated with the castle and church provide different historical reference points, while the restored mill creates its own architectural accent.

The Mongiovetta road was built in 1771 to facilitate traffic and trade, and it is still used today to reach nearby Saint-Vincent.
