Best of Aosta Valley

Aosta Valley Essentials

Valle d'Aosta features Europe’s highest massifs, including Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn, alongside the protected biodiversity of Gran Paradiso National Park. The region’s history spans from the Roman ruins of Aosta—such as the 1st-century BCE Arch of Augustus and Roman Theatre—to a defensive network of medieval and 19th-century fortifications like Fort Bard. Architectural landmarks include the Neo-Gothic Castello di Aymavilles and the royal hunting lodge of Castello di Sarre, reflecting the long-standing influence of the House of Savoy.
