Do you want to know what you can do in the Aosta Valley in summer? Here are some tips on the main destinations to visit.
The wonderful season begins in spring when the snow starts to melt. Spring is undoubtedly a magical time in the Aosta Valley. The arrival of summer awakens and brings flora and fauna to life after many months of hibernation. This is the best time to start hiking at low altitude and then get ready for more challenging stuff if you want to get your adrenaline going.
Summer is like winter, but with entirely different scenery and lots of activities from easy walks in the woods to hiking, mountaineering for the most skilled, MTB and road bikes with all types of itineraries, also starting from our accommodation.
You can have a go at climbing four thousand metres such as the Gran Paradiso, the only one entirely within Italy or any other mountain that you have dreamt of (Mont Blanc, Cervino) with the help of an alpine guide should you need one.
You need to try white water rafting and kayaking, ideal for thrill seekers. And not to forget cultural tourism, castles and important Roman Architecturea that you can find in Aosta.
During the summer, the Aosta Valley is full of fairs and festivals which you cannot miss. As of the famous Sant’Orso fair, the Foire d’ été takes place in the month of August in the historic centre of Aosta, 10 minutes away from the accommodation. The centre of Aosta in the summer season is full of events, the local bars and restaurants with their hors oeuvres await you for a simple aperitif or for a lunch or dinner after a relaxing walk, shopping or a day spent doing physical exercise.
Regarding excursions, the Aosta Valley features a hiking trail which stretches for miles. We only need to mention alta via 1 and alta via 2, two trails that can be done on foot. Doing both would allow you to see the whole of the Aosta Valley. Along this route in the month of September, there is a competition dedicated to those who want to try this unique experience, the Tor des Geants.
We might have missed something, but there are so many activities and things to do that it would take forever to describe everything. Therefore, the portal lovevda is extremely useful and where you can find all information.
We wish you a pleasant holiday in our AL204 accommodation and see you soon.
