Small Boutique hotels in AOSTA VALLEY

It is the kingdom of the high mountains, with peaks that reach dizzying heights. Here we find the highest peak in Europe, Mont Blanc is 4,810 meters high. The Matterhorn, Monte Rosa and Gran Paradiso are behind it.

In northwestern Italy, this destination borders France and Switzerland, and is one of the privileged areas for skiing. Courmayer is the main station and one of the most important mountaineering centers in Europe. Cervinia and Pila also enjoy great prestige among skiers. For lovers of unspoiled nature, in the Gran Paradiso National Park you may see chamois, golden eagles and perhaps even a mountain goat, the symbol of this place.

In this ecosystem of towering mountains, human history translates into a remarkable legacy of castles, fortresses and watchtowers. Almost a hundred are scattered along the valley. The castles of Fénis, Saint Pierre and Sarriod de la Tour stand out for their fascinating presence. Turn your attention also to the valley of Gressoney, one of the most beautiful scenes in the area.

Aosta, capital of the region, is known as "the Rome of the Alps" for its rich heritage. Founded by the Romans, visit the Arch of Augustus, the ancient Roman Theater, the vaulted passageway cryptoportico of the Roman Forum and the vestiges of the Early Christian basilica. Small luxury hotels with alpine style offer guests comfortable accommodation.
