Valle d'Aosta Challenge, a timeless journey

Formed by glaciers and surrounded by mountains, the Aosta Valley is located in the north of Italy. A third of its territory is located more than 2,600 meters above sea level. It is bordered to the north by Switzerland (canton of Valais), to the west by France (Auvergne Rhône-Alpes region) and to the south-east by Piedmont. Extending over an area of approximately 3,270 km2, the Aosta Valley is the smallest region in Italy. With its iconic summits such as Mont Blanc, Monte Rosa, Matterhorn (here called Monte Cervino) and Gran Paradiso, the Aosta Valley is dominated by the highest and most impressive peaks of the Alps. The Aosta Valley presents itself as a mixture of cultures marked by the warm atmosphere of Italy with a slight touch of French charm. The region enchants visitors from all over the world thanks to its excellent gastronomy, its picturesque alpine architecture and landscape, its living traditions, its rich historical past and its wide range of cultural and sport activities. The Aosta Valley offers the perfect environment for an unforgettable holiday, not only for mountaineers and skiers, but also for those who are expecting higher standards.
