What to do in Valle D'Aosta

Fringed by Europe's highest mountains, Mont Blanc, the Matterhorn and Monte Rosa, veined with valleys and studded with castles, Valle d'Aosta is undeniably picturesque.

Along the river Dora are most of the feudal castles for which Valle d'Aosta is famed - the majority built by the Challant family, who ruled the region for seven centuries. Although the castles are pretty from the outside, and easily accessible by bus or train, few are absorbing enough to warrant a special trip into the region.


Relax yourself in the green and peaceful landscapes.

Breathe the cleanest air of its mountain.

Discover Natural parks and their free animals.

Enjoy this Paradise's corner!
