Valle d'Aosta, or the Aosta Valley in English, can be regarded as the northern region that can pack a punch, in spite of its tiny area. Enclosed by France and Switzerland on one side and the mountainous province of Piedmont on the other, Valle d'Aosta is not necessarily the rural and agricultural valley that it seems to be. Gifted with a very strategic geography as well as natural resources and landscapes that have already been proven to attract some of the holiday vacationers in Italy, Valle d'Aosta appears to be formidable force in the economy in the future.
When it comes to the region’s sights and sounds, Valle d'Aosta is a perfect option for those who are eager to explore the natural beauty and historic ruins of the country. In Valle d'Aosta, travelers can opt to explore the innate wonders of the lands and probably retreat to the beautiful woods beside the town of Rhemes-Notre-Dame for some self-reflection or intimacy. On the other hand, adventure seekers can choose to hike in the nearby mountains and marvel at the beauty of the valley or during winter, engage in sport competitions.
City monuments and relics are also popular magnets for travellers who cannot get enough of Italy’s array of remarkable historic structures. Churches and ruins abound in the city, with some of the more famous structures being the Porta Praetoria, a well-preserved gateway to the capital, and the Cathedral of Aosta, which was restored in the honour of the Madonna. Arches, reminiscent of the influences of the Romans, are also quite common sights in the Aosta capital. Tourists can feel and be in touch with the magnificence of Italian history by visiting the Arches of the Roman Theatre or the Arch of Augustus, a structure that was built for the Roman troops.
