Regions Italy : Valle d'Aosta / Aosta Valley - Hotels Valle d'Aosta
Sheltered by the towering peaks of Europe's highest peak, Mont Blanc, the Matterhorn and Monte Rosa, the reaches of the Val d'Aosta remain entirely mountainous. In the valley itself exists a unique culture, complete with battling cows, (an old Aosta tradition), Roman ruins and a hundred different castles. Glaciers, Gothic sculptures, Baroque village churches, numerous fortresses, spectacular views and glamorous ski resorts like Courmayeur also add to the mix. The food is hearty and the local inhabitants speak French, Italian and a bit of Patois, a dialect whose origins lie in Provence.

These include a number of ski and snowboarding resorts, golf courses, canoeing and rafting courses, mountain biking, a swimming pool, tennis courts and horse riding, wall climbing, gliding, adventure parks and fishing.
Skiing in the area around Mont Blanc is a truly unique experience, especially for off-piste enthusiasts.

Since the nineteenth century Breuil-Cervina is a renown ski resort.
Up there remarkable landmarks worth to be visited are the highest ice cavern in Europe (almost 4,000 meters) and the "Una montagna di lavoro" (“A Mountain of work”) Museum, a tribute to the efforts, the tools and the insight which brought men to build facilities at such high altitude. Besides the 350 kilometers complex resort connected to Zermatt in Switzerland and the neighboring Valtournenche, Cervinia is also a beautiful summer destination offering walking paths, tunnel driven through the rock, villages and refuges easy to reach on foot or riding a bike.
