15/08/2021 - Valle d’Aosta Cartography This year there are three of us leaving for the holidays, and the destination is not the sea but the mountains. The Aosta Valley. A region never visited that aroused my curiosity. Curiosity born watching the Rocco Schiavone TV series, shot in Aosta and in the neighboring towns. This region is very small, as can be seen from the map, there is a valley that crosses it all from Ivrea to Courmayeur, after which there are side valleys that enter parks, lakes and majestic mountains. I’m used to the Dolomites, seeing the mountains of the western Alps is a decisive leap upwards. We stayed in the regional capital, right in Aosta. City of Roman origin that preserves many monuments of the time. The historic center deserves to be visited, in one day you can see it all. Always starting from Aosta there are beautiful cycle paths that follow the main river of the region, the Dora Baltea. From Aosta then we moved to see incredible landscapes: -Locality La Pila, just above Aosta, in summer is the kingdom of hikers and mountain bikers, in winter instead of skiers. The hut we found that sold Fontina at KM 0 was beautiful -The San Bernardo pass on the border with Switzerland. I went there twice by racing bike and once with the family. It deserves! -A little more distant, Cervinia. Hiking area at the foot of the Matterhorn on the Italian side. -Cogne, a beautiful village with meadows, waterfalls, inside the Gran Paradiso park. -SkyWay cable car that starting shortly after Courmayeur 1300, with two sections takes you first to Pavillon 2170 and then to Punta Helbronner 3466, above the Mont Blanc glacier Concluding this brief overview of our trip to Aosta, I can only say, nice! I know so much that with the hospitality we have found, the food and the landscapes seen, I can only go back at the first opportunity. I have no particular reports, except those related to the period we are experiencing. this summer the green pass went into effect, just two weeks before our departure. In short, we could not enter castles, museums or indoor sports centers such as the ice rink. We hope the situation improves for the next year. Distance Path: m. Drop m. Maximum Altitude m.
