Italy

In Italy's northwesternmost valley, surrounded by Mont Blanc, the Matterhorn, and Monte Rosa, Aosta sits at the crossroads of Alpine passes. The Rome of the Alps combines Roman ruins with Alpine mountain scenery. The Arch of Augustus, Roman theater, and proximity to the Alps' highest peaks make Aosta a cultural gateway to the mountains.
