AOSTA CITY
This region is a good balance between mountain and relaxation, perfect for families or groups of friends. Aosta is the capital of the region, a beautiful city that offers a day of leisure for children and adults. Personally, I had the pleasure of visiting it at Christmas and I must say that it is really worth it. The Christmas markets with the stands of typical products in the park of the ancient Roman Theater are very beautiful.
For lovers of the Michelin guide I recommend you go to eat at the Vecchio Ristoro, a well deserved 1 Michelin star. Typical products, impeccable service, and affordable prices, two dishes with a shared dessert, € 50 per person. For more info about Aosta click here!
COURMAYEUR & MONT-BLANC
Courmayeur is a very famous place because of its proximity to the ski slopes and to the sweet Italian life. Just 10 minutes from the chairlifts leading to the main ski slopes, if you are in the area I recommend you to stop and sleep, there are hotels for all prices. The city is small but full of bars, restaurants, and nightclubs. I stayed in the Walser hotel, good quality/price, € 50 a night with breakfast and bathroom in the room. The rooms are a bit old but still functional as the bathroom. Are you looking for something romantic and relaxing? Qc Terme Monte Bianco Hotel!
One of the most famous attractions in the area is the Skyway. With Skyway you can be immersed in a breathtaking landscape thanks to the 360 ° rotating cabins and 3 futuristic stations with restaurants, bars, and entertainment services. Prices and timetables. The cable car can reach Punta Helbronner (3466 m), from there on a sunny day you can see Mont Blanc (4810 m). I advise you not to book early, for weather reasons.
