Aosta Area Guide
Aosta is the sole province and principal city of Aosta Valley, a bilingual region in the Italian Alps, located between France and Switzerland. Historically, the Aosta Valley has been viewed as a land of contact and conjuncture between Italy and France; which is also reflected in its official bilingualism and its special status as an autonomous region. It is situated near the Italian entrance of the Mont Blanc Tunnel, at the confluence of the Buthier and the Dora Baltea, and at the junction of the Great and Little St. Bernard routes. The majestic Mont Blanc, the highest peak in the Alps, can be found here, along with other peaks such as Cervino and Gran Paradiso. The region is dominated by mountains, valleys and wild habitats, all of which make outdoor activities and winter sports a major part of life in this rugged region. Courmayeur, one of the world’s premier ski resorts, is one of the jewels in Aosta’s crown.
