Italy’s smallest region, Valle d’Aosta sits in the northwest of the country bordering both Switzerland and France. It is a land of mountains and high-altitude vineyards, castles and cable cars, and has the benefit of rarely being on the average tourist’s radar. Visit this alpine wonderland to ski in breathtaking scenery, soak in thermal waters, and tour magnificent castles.

Gorging on fondue non-stop in Switzerland didn’t deter me from ordering fonduta at every possible opportunity in Valle d’Aosta. I do not tire of pots of melted cheese.
