The most important also the highest mountain in Italy is Mont Blanc with its 4810 m.

If you want you have the opportunity to hike safely on the massif of Mont Blanc accompanied by a mountain guide and make a very adventurous experience.

MontBlanc is also the "montain of VIPs", At his foot in fact there is the town of Courmayeur, popular destination for the many ski slopes and shops of the famous brands.

The regional capital is Aosta, located in the middle of the Valle d'Aosta.

At the center of the city there is the Chanoux Square, site of many important buildings such as the town hall and the Hôtel des États.

The city is characterized by a clear Roman influence, as can be seen by the presence of monuments such as the Roman theater and the Gates Prætoria.
