Saint-Rhemy-en-Bosses: Crévacol
Crévacol sits on a mountainside above the Great St Bernard Valley in Italy’s Aosta Valley, where forested slopes, high pastures and rugged Alpine ridges define the upper valley. It is the ski area of Saint-Rhémy-en-Bosses, a small commune on the historic route towards the Great St Bernard Pass and Switzerland. Its slopes, lifts and mountain buildings are spread across the hillside rather than concentrated in a large purpose-built base. The valley also retains a farming tradition associated with Jambon de Bosses, an air-cured ham protected by a PDO designation. Crévacol brings together a smaller-scale mountain resort and one of the Alps’ long-established crossing routes.

Built around the historic road to the Great St Bernard Pass, Saint-Rhémy-en-Bosses grew into a small Alpine municipality in Italy’s Aosta Valley. The pass, on the border with Switzerland, has long served as a transalpine crossing; the hospice near its summit is closely associated with St Bernard dogs. Local food traditions centre on Jambon de Bosses, a protected-designation cured ham produced in the mountain air. Stone-built hamlets and steep slopes give the valley a distinctly high-Alpine character.

The terrain of Aosta Valley ranges from the broad Dora Baltea valley floor around Aosta to glaciated Alpine massifs along its French and Swiss borders, creating sharp changes in altitude and climate. Italy’s smallest region is framed by some of the Alps’ best-known high mountain country, including the Mont Blanc area and Gran Paradiso National Park. Aosta preserves the legacy of the Roman town of Augusta Praetoria in its city walls, Porta Praetoria and Roman Theatre. Stone villages, alpine pastures and fortified castles reflect a culture shaped by mountain routes and French-Italian influences; Fontina cheese is among its established local specialities.

Among the countries of southern Europe, Italy stands out for its Mediterranean coastline and cities marked by the legacy of ancient Rome. The Alps form its northern frontier, while the Apennines run down the peninsula and the Po crosses the broad plain of the north. Rome’s Colosseum and Roman Forum recall the ancient empire; Florence is closely associated with the Renaissance, and Venice is built across a lagoon on the Adriatic. Food changes markedly between regions, from olive-oil cooking in the south to rice dishes in the Po Valley. Sicily and Sardinia add distinct island identities to a country whose regions retain strong local character.
