Aosta Valley
Famous Skiing
resort in the winter . It is the most mountainous region in Italy and here are to be found two of the three highest peaks of Alps . The Monte Bianco is 4810 metri or 15781 ft high. A cableway –the highest in Europe – takes you up to the almost the
summit and descends to Chamonix on the French side ( www.montebianco.com).
The capital of
the region , Aosta, has important vestiges of the ancient Roman Age.
My Suggestions:
To visit several
typical old villages with house built in stone . The many Castles around
Aosta and the various valleys along the rivers.
