⛪ 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.

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