Aosta Valley
Tucked into the north-west corner of Italy, the tiny region of Valle d'Aosta (Aosta Valley) is fringed by the Swiss and French Alps, spreading over a series of deep mountain valleys. Home to the Mont Blanc (Monte Bianco) and Great St. Bernard tunnels, Valle d'Aosta may be your first, or last, sight of Italy as you travel between the Alpine region and its French and Swiss neighbours.
It is a region where breathtaking nature preserved Roman and medieval monuments, castles, churches, artistic heritage, local traditions and delicious gastronomy. The French influence is still present, and it is easier to hear people speaking French and dialects than Italian. It is a region where one can enjoy the life in open air with infinite opportunities for trekking, hiking, skiing, and other sport activities or visit the main city: Aosta.
