The reclamation of the Bard Fortress and its hamlet has led to the establishment of a large cultural centre in the centre of the Western Alps. The fortress, which used to be a closed military building, has now turned into a space open to the public, describing and illustrating the culture and the history of the Alps.
The visit to the Fortress represents an ideal journey in time and space, merging its historic tradition with its educational mission and with  the communicative strength of the Theme Park.
A fascinating exhibition: a journey along the various buildings in the fortress. There is the Carlo Alberto building with the  Museum of the Alps, the temporary exhibitions, the “Vallée culture” promo area; the opera Vittorio building with its museum “Youngsters and the Alps”, the opera Mortai and the Polveriera building with  tutorial labs for school children; the Opera Ferdinando building with the “Fortress” and the “Borders” museums
