Seven days in the Aosta Valley: the Roman town of Aosta, the castles of Fénis and Bard, and Mont Blanc by cable car.
Nestled at the foot of Mont Blanc, the Aosta Valley is Italy's smallest region, where French is still spoken. Your group discovers Aosta, nicknamed the “Rome of the Alps” for its Praetorian Gate, Arch of Augustus and Roman theatre, then Fénis Castle with its crenellated towers and frescoes. In Courmayeur, the Skyway Monte Bianco cable car takes those who wish up in front of the glaciers, and Fort Bard can be visited thanks to panoramic lifts. The journey is broken by an overnight stop on the way out and back, and the stay is spent in a single hotel in the valley, on half board. A free day lets everyone relax and stroll at their own pace.
