Hône is located at the entrance of the Champorcher valley, on the left bank of the Ayasse stream, on the orographic right of the Dora Baltea river. The village played a strategic role in the Middle Ages, since it was owned by the lordship of Bard. A pedestrian bridge over the Dora Baltea, with a remarkable view of the majestic fort, still connects Hône to the village of Bard to this day. Interesting evidence of the first human settlements in the area is provided by the hollowed out stones, which have concave engravings of probable religious significance

Bard is the smallest Italian municipality and has just over a hundred inhabitants, but its strategic position has always made it the hub of commercial and military activities. In fact, it spreads across an imposing rocky promontory, which invades the valley floor almost to the point of blocking it, and is dominated by the homonymous fortress, which has become a cultural pole with permanent museums and renowned temporary exhibitions, after a careful restoration campaign.
The village is rich in historical houses and is considered one of the most beautiful in Italy. Interesting historical evidences are also the geosite, with Neolithic rock carvings, and the stretch of the Roman Consular road, built between 31 and 25 BC.
