Where to Sleep in the Aosta Valley

Options range from hotels with many stars, including many with tradition, known precisely for the impeccable and “classic” service, to charming accommodations located in historic residences and picturesque small castles made of local grey stone. There are also simpler and more economical small family-run hotels and guesthouses. Highly popular and frequented are the typical rural tourism and high-altitude structures: farm stays, b&b, rooms in chalets or farmhouses, wonderful mountain refuges where you feel like an eagle’s nest, face to face with stunning nature, far from the consumerist rituals of mass tourism. In recent years, the region has seen a significant increase in demand precisely in this area, managing to define specific visitor circuits that aim to meet the needs of certain audience segments. Thus, for example, there is a group of refuges easy to reach and accessible even to families with children; there is a circuit suited for skilled mountaineers. There are farmhouses and farm stays where you lodge feeling almost at home, with the possibility of lending a hand in garden or field work, or pleasantly engaging in domestic activities like preparing syrups, jams, and traditional sweets. The winter season and the opening of ski slopes finally celebrate the typical winter tourism, with resorts bustling with skiers who, for convenience and economy, often purchase the classic ski week package, generally staying in mid-to-low-range accommodations offering useful services for skiing as well.
