🐎 Moron: more than a destination



Moron, frazione di Saint-Vincent, non è una destinazione da “visitare”. È un luogo da vivere.

Tra:

  • 🏘️  case in pietra
  • 🪨 vicoli stretti
  • 🎨 affreschi nascosti
  • 🌄 scorci che raccontano la vita di montagna

Qui il tempo sembra rallentare. 🌿


🐎 Horse riding experiences

One of the best ways to explore Moron and the surrounding area is on horseback 🐎

A slow, natural experience that allows you to truly connect with the landscape — perfect even for beginners.

👉 You can organize horse riding tours in Moron and nearby areas through:
A.S.D. Cavallo e Natura

🔗 Official contacts and information


⛪ The small church of Moron

At the heart of the village stands the charming Church of San Maurizio.

Dating back to the 12th century, it is considered one of the oldest churches in the Aosta Valley, a small yet meaningful testimony to the deep-rooted history of these alpine villages.

A short stop — but one that leaves a lasting impression.

👉 Opening times
The church is usually open on the
last Sunday of each month, during Holy Mass at 11:30 AM.

During the rest of the month, it is generally closed, unless special openings are arranged with the local parish.

👉 Even when closed, the surrounding area offers one of the most peaceful and panoramic viewpoints above Saint-Vincent — a perfect place to pause and take in the landscape.

From Moron, a pleasant 15-minute downhill walk leads to the Terme di Saint-Vincent

A place where relaxation meets wellness:

🏊‍♂️ indoor & outdoor pools
