Italy
Aosta Valley
by Sarah and Sara
Infinite are the itineraries and tours that
allow visitors to explore Italy, a unique
and singular country known around the
world for the variety of its landscapes and
terrains – a country in perfect equilibrium
between the sea, mountains, hills and
plains. Aosta Valley is the smallest region
in Italy; in its northwest, it is located
between France and Switzerland. Here we
can find the highest peaks in the Alps:
Cervino, Monte Rosa, Gran Paradiso and
the king of them all, Mont Blanc, which is,
at 15,781 feet, the highest mountain in
Europe, the roof of the old Continent.
Historically, the Aosta Valley has been
viewed as land of contact and
conjuncture between Italy and France;
this region is a special status as
autonomous region. With more than 46.1
million tourists a year, Italy is the fifth
highest tourist earner, and fifth most
visited country in the world. This region
offers amazing natural attractions, but
other cultural and traditional treasures
also abound. In any season of the year,
visiting Monte Rosa, practicing sports on
its slopes, or simply walking along the
paths to reach the top, you will enjoy the
enchanting and magical surroundings that
are created by the interplay of light,
colors and hues that cover your way. A
number of sports can be enjoyed on
Monte Rosa and in its
valleys; the three
valleys of Ayas,
Gressoney and Valsesia
are the hub of one of
Italy’s largest ski
resorts.
