Valle d’Aosta, Travel In Northern Italy (VIDEO)
The Aosta Valley (Valle d’Aosta) is a mountainous region in northwestern Italy. It is bordered by Rhône-Alpes, France to the west, Valais, Switzerland to the north and the region of Piedmont to the south.
The rugged mountains attract sport lovers. The ancient history and architecture attract lovers of culture. The combination makes for a wonderful travel destination.
As a key corridor between Italy and France, the valley has an ancient and complex history. We find remains of a major Roman town in Aosta, and medieval castles dotting the hillsides.
Several fine Romanesque churches and cloisters survive, and the town of Aosta itself, (primarily 19th century), is charming.
