Alpine peaks and glaciers in Aosta Valley
The Aosta Valley contains the highest concentration of four-thousand-meter peaks in the Alps. This collection features Western Europe’s highest summit, Mont Blanc, and the iconic pyramid of the Matterhorn. It includes the Gran Paradiso, the only 4,000-meter peak situated entirely within Italian territory.
