Relaxed towns
Generally, the summer is more relaxed than during the ski season, but this doesn't mean there are a lack of activities to keep you entertained. Summer's the ideal time to get outdoors and go walking, enjoying all that nature has to offer. You'll find that the bars and restaurants have a great vibe and serve fantastic local food and wine. There are usually some concerts and events in August, so if you want a mix of the outdoors and nightlife, this is the time to go.

A rich history
Did you know that the Aosta Valley has Roman roots? The Emperor Augustus named the town Augustus Praetoria after himself - today we call it Aosta, the capital of the area. After many years of changing ownership, in 1927 Aosta became part of the province of Torino and in 1945 the autonomous region of the Val D'Aosta was created. There are still traces of the Roman past scattered throughout the Aosta Valley, most of which are in Aosta itself.
