Illustrated throughout with lively graphics, maps, and photographs, this guide to one of Italy’s most beautiful regions contains expert, detailed information on where to dine, stay, and play in Piedmont and the Aosta Valley. The book offers candid opinions on the urban and natural pleasures of Turin (home to the 2006 Winter Olympic Games), world-class wine and cuisine from Monferrato and Langhe, and much more.

Valle dÕAosta is a vertical region, you might say, and not just in the physical sense, for the many high peaks that surround it (including Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in Europe at 4,807 meters), but also for the surprising concentration, in a region of such reduced dimensions, of so many natural splendors, of so many monuments, of so much precious historic and artistic heritage. For Aosta the Middle Ages were anything but dark: as an important center of commercial traffic with France and Switzerland, the city enjoyed a long period of prosperity. It is no coincidence that the Cathedral and Cathedral Church of S. Orso, two churches of great beauty, date back to the Middle Ages. The locations covered are the city of Aosta, the lower valley with its castles, a visit to Cogne and the Gran Paradiso Park, a visit to Morgex, La Thuille and the Piccolo San Bernardo Pass, one to Courmayeur, one to Valpelline and the Gran San Bernardo Pass, and all the villages of the Valtournance Valley.
