Aosta Valley
Aosta Valley is the smallest region in Italy. It is located in the northwest, on the border with France and surrounded by the highest peaks in Italy and Europe (Mont Blanc, Cervino, Monte Rosa, Gran Paradiso). In this region we find culture and old traditions mixed together, unspoiled nature and old pretty borgoes (like Courmayeur, Valsavaremnche and Saint Vincent).

This region hosts the first Italian national park: Gran Paradiso, where in a protected park you will still see ibex, chamois and roe deer in their natural habitat.
Aosta Valley is the perfect destination for those who love nature and the mountains. During the summer you can walk along easy paths and during winter, wearing your snowshoes, with an expert guide you can also climb more difficult paths.
For those who love good food and wines, the Aosta Valley offers very exclusive taste and flavours also revealing a strong French influence. Its specialties are local game and cheeses used in various recipes.
The gastronomy of this region also offers several types of soups, local meat sauces and excellent cheeses that can be enjoyed accompanied by local wines like Pinot grigio, Muller, Turgau and Chardonnay.
