Valle d'Aosta

Valle d'Aosta is a small alpine region in northwestern Italy, tucked against the French and Swiss borders and surrounded by some of the highest peaks in the Alps. Its towns and villages, from Aosta down to the valley floors and up into the side valleys, are known for mountain living, winter sports and a bilingual Italian-French character. Property here tends toward chalets, stone houses and apartments in ski and spa towns, appealing to buyers seeking a quiet second home or a base for outdoor life year-round.
