Linked to the ski area of Pila by an efficient gondola (with mind-blowing  panoramas of
the surrounding peaks!), Aosta is the heart of the valley and is easy to fall in love with.
As you wander through the old streets of the historical centre, you will find  that Aosta is
a large, open-air museum, enclosed in a landscape which acts as a fascinating  backdrop
to all the town’s monuments. Home to a wealth of Roman and medieval monuments, art
exhibitions and prestigious, historical buildings, Aosta/Pila provides the  perfect
combination of culture/winter sports. Aosta is also a vibrant town, packed full of
 interesting bars (if you reckon you’ve got the stamina, then a visit to the Distillery is a
must!), shops and delicatessens. Aosta is just that little bit different ….
