Aosta Valley

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.
