Snuggled between France and Switzerland, in Italy’s remote Northwest corner, the Aosta Valley is a plush secret long privy to European cognoscenti. But even if you aren’t ready to sky up a storm swathed in Prada, it serves up Michelin-starred pampering and an alluring après-sky scene.


Every winter, the who’s who from Milan, Turin and Geneva descend upon the cobblestoned streets and quixotic castles of Valle D’Aosta. Home to some of the continent’s loftiest peaks including the Matterhorn, Monte Rosa and Gran Paradiso, its pride is the magnificent Mont Blanc. While the city of Aosta – an ancient Roman military base boasting lovely ruins and homely trattorias – is a big draw, serious skiers head straight to the town of Courmayeur for high-voltage backcountry action.
