Forte di Bard Concerts

Amazing location where they shot some scene for Avengers: Age of Ultron. There are 6 different museums/exhibition. its possible to use lift to go through the different levels or just walk through the panoramic route. There's a nice cafeteria on top. Finding all the different exhibitions can be a bit confusing but there are guides to give assistance

Stunning fort, incredibly well kept and in such an amazing position. A must stop if travelling through valle d'Aosta. There are usually different expositions inside, always interesting, might be a good idea to check in advance the programs. The prisons are well kept and worth a visit, the mountain museum is a bit messy and slightly outdated, maybe more interesting to school groups rather than individual visitors. Worth having a read online about the history of the place. The medioeval village is just as impressive and there are some great shops and restaurants. It would take at least a full day to fully explore the fort and village.

The entrance to the fort is free. The museums and exhibitions inside the fort are not. We chose the Alpine museum and the prisons. The Alpine museum was a bit oudated and only in french and Italian. The prisons were pretty short but modern and in three languages. You can spend almost an entire day if you want, we spent close to three hours inside.

We love it. To go up, there are 2 ways: walk or with funicular. The parking lots: underneath the fort (until in front of the fort) or just about 100m more for people who want to walk. I don’t remember the price for parking. We spent more than 3 hours and we pay €4. The parking lot on the basement are small space but you could go up until 2nd level and park just in front of the entrance. 4 times go up and change the funicular. With €15/person you can go up with funicular (return ticket) and also visit 2 museums. We have change to visit: museum of Alpine (this museum is huge and many interesting info and history, I f you like history), prison and first museum on the first stop of funicular (forget the name) They have also many exhibitions and this is free. If you are not fans of museum or history, just pay €8/persons and you have chance with funicular and visit one museum. They have cafeteria and restaurant on the top. Good service. They speak Italian, French and English. Don’t forget to enjoy short video about the fort itself from the beginning until 20th century.

Stunning. A beautiful fort. Drenched in history which was an adventure to learn about. Not to mention great views of the valley
