Places to see in ( Aosta - Italy )
Aosta is the capital of the Valle d’Aosta region, in northwestern Italy. It’s near ski resorts and the Gran Paradiso National Park, which has an alpine botanical garden, trails and wildlife like ibexes and eagles. Remnants of Aosta’s Roman past include the Arch of Augustus and the Praetorian Gate, once the city’s main entrance. In the Sant’Orso complex are a Romanesque cloister and a priory with a frescoed chapel.
Jagged Alpine peaks rise like marble cathedrals above the regional capital Aosta, a once-important Roman settlement that retains a charming historic centre, while also sprawling rather untidily across the valley floor. Bounced around between Burgundy (France) and Savoy (Italy) in the Middle Ages, the modern town remains bilingual, with a Valdostan culture that can be heard in its musical local dialect and simple but hearty cuisine.
Aosta is an old Roman town at 583m above sea level, and the largest in the region with a population of 35,000. Full of things to see and do, it’s surrounded by magnificent mountains, including the Grand Combin and the Mont Vélan to the north, Emilius and the Becca di Nona to the south, and the Testa del Rutor to the west.
Located in the centre of the Aosta Valley, the town was founded by the Romans in 25 BC at a geographical point where the physiographic catchment of the Dora Baltea reaches its maximum width, and where the main roads heading to France and Switzerland converge. The presence of the Piccolo and Gran San Bernardo Alpine hills makes Aosta an important strategic junction from a transport point of view (nowadays thanks to the Mont Blanc and Gran San Bernardo Tunnels).
Rich in monuments from pre-historical, Roman, medieval and later times, Aosta makes a fascinating historical case study. There’s the megalithic area of Saint-Martin de Corleans; the Praetoria Gate, one of the few examples from Roman times still perfectly intact; the Theatre; the forum Cryptoporticus, the perimeter of the boundary walls almost completely intact; a well-preserved extra muros villa; and the magnificent Augustus’ Arch. Ancient roads, fountains, wash-houses, votive chapels, sundials, historical houses and courtyards are also in abundance.
Those staying in the ski resort of Pila often take the 20-minute gondola-ride from there down to Aosta town to sample its delights. There are plenty of shops selling delicious local delicacies, arts and crafts; and lots of restaurants and bars to sample too.
The thousand-year-old Sant‘Orsa Fair is held each year in the centre of Aosta on the 30 and 31 January. Its origins have been lost over time, so much so that someone set the year 1000 as its starting date. So each fair is now numbered as though the first one had been held at the start of the second millennium of our time. Attracting visitors from afar, it’s a craft fair with artefacts in wood, soapstone, wrought iron, lace and woollen fabrics, as well as farming equipment, furniture, household utensils and sculptures.
Aosta is also home to two masterpieces of Medieval art: the Cathedral and San‘Orso. Both feature amazing Ottanian frescoes and a wooden choir; the cathedral also has a treasure museum; and Sant‘Orso Collegiate boasts enchanting cloisters too.

Valle d'Aosta - The Aosta Valley in Italy - 4K Aerial Drone Video
The Aosta Valley (Italian: Valle d'Aosta is a mountainous autonomous region in northwestern Italy. It is bordered by Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France, to the west, Valais, Switzerland, to the north and by the Metropolitan City of Turin in the region of Piedmont, Italy, to the south and east.
Covering an area of 3,263 km2 (1,260 sq mi) and with a population of about 128,000 it is the smallest, least populous, and least densely populated region of Italy. It is the only Italian region that is not sub-divided into provinces (the province of Aosta was dissolved in 1945). Provincial administrative functions are provided by the regional government. The region is divided into 74 comuni.
Italian and French are the official languages, though much of the native population also speak Valdôtain, a dialect of Arpitan (Franco-Provençal), as their home language; about half of the population can speak all three languages.
The regional capital is Aosta.
In the Middle Ages, the Aosta Valley was a compulsory passage towards Alpine passes. Thus, toll collections were an important source of power and income. Since the Aosta Valley wasn't directly controlled by any authority, it was easy to take the land and appoint yourself as its lord; therefore, local nobles moved away from the towns, in search of land where they could extend their domains. Castles, towers and fortified houses arose on unaccessible elevations to dominate vast stretches of land from above.
In the Aosta Valley, first castles date back from the beginning of the XI century; often they were built on previous fortified settlements. They consisted in a square tower, or donjon, surrounded by walls. Typical examples of fortifications from the 11th and 12th century are Graines Castle in Brusson, the castle of Cly in Saint-Denis and Châtel-Argent castle in Villeneuve. Their chapels show the extreme simplicity of Romanesque religious architecture.
Cosmopolitan Breuil-Cervinia (2,050 m asl) is the undisputed ski capital. In fact the winter season lasts a long six months (the longest season in Aosta Valley) and in summer it is possible to ski on the Plateau Rosà glacier (3,500 m asl). Modern fast lift systems means ski connections also with Valtournenche and Zermatt (Switzerland) and these resorts make up the “Cervino Ski Paradise”, a snow paradise. The resort’s ski story started 80 years ago with the first cableway Cervinia-Plan Maison (inaugurated in 1936). The area was an already famous mountaineering hub from 1865 with the first ascent of the Matterhorn.
In Cervinia everything is in walking distance, including the lift systems and means you can leave your car in the garage during your stay. The town is made up of residential homes and modern hotels, many with wellness centres, offering guests relaxation and memorable moments. Numerous after ski ideas from shopping to pre-dinner drinks with tastes of local produce, Alpine Guide’s museum visits and dinner of local gastronomical fair in the many restaurants. Don’t miss summer; hiking, mountain biking, mountain huts and the Matterhorn reflecting in the famous blue lake.
