Alpine Peaks and Glaciers
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. Historic transit routes like the Great St Bernard Pass connect the region to Switzerland, while the debris-covered Miage Glacier and the expansive Rutor Glacier showcase the area's massive ice formations and geological history.
