Museum of the Alps

The Museum of the Alps presents Alpine life through twenty-nine themed rooms with multimedia displays, interactive maps, and environmental soundscapes on the first floor of Fort Bard.

The museum occupies space within the restored Fort Bard, which stands as a military structure from the 19th century in the narrow gorge of Valle d'Aosta.

Visitors discover Alpine traditions through recorded welcomes in multiple languages, displays of agricultural practices, and exhibits about mountain communities across different seasons.

External glass elevators transport visitors from the fortress base to the museum entrance, eliminating the need to climb steep pathways to access the exhibitions.

The geography room features an interactive floor map where visitors can walk across Alpine terrain while learning about regional topography and geological formations.
