Valle d'Aosta

Bordering France and Switzerland, surrounded by some of the highest peaks in Europe, the Aosta Valley is the beating heart of the western Italian Alps.

Valle d'Aosta is Italy's smallest region boasting spectacular scenery, world-class skiing and snowboarding, top quality food, and a history that dates back to before Roman times.

It consists of a central valley crossed by the Dora Baltea river from which 13 side valleys branch off, carved out by glaciers and mountain streams.
