Valle d’Aosta Region

Valle d’Aosta is an autonomous region with a special statute located in north-western Italy; it is the smallest and least populated in Italy but, in its territory, it welcomes a great variety of aspects that make it a very popular destination.

The “Giants of the Alps” peep out on its territory, that is Mont Blanc (4,810 m), a mountain carved in granite and second in Europe only to Elbrus, in the Caucasus; the Matterhorn (4,478 m), with its characteristic pyramidal shape; Monte Rosa (4,634 m), second highest mountain in the Alps; and the Gran Paradiso (4,061 m), the only “4,000” entirely included in Italian territory, within the park of the same name that winds between the Aosta Valley and Piedmont, established to safeguard trees and some species of animals in the street of extinction such as ibex, chamois, marmots and stoats.

Furthermore, churches, castles, Roman monuments and itineraries of faith along the Via Francigena, enrich the offer of a region where the expression of a traditional culture that makes use of multiple derivations, as evidenced by bilingualism (Italian) -French) which is part of the regional history and the use of other idioms such as the Franco-Provençal and the Walser with German dialects such as titsch and toitschu.
