Destination Weddings in Valle d'Aosta

The northern Italian region of Valle d'Aosta is known for its beautiful landscapes and historic feudal castles. It is a highly scenic region that provides a picturesque backdrop to your wedding in Italy.

Valle d'Aosta borders France, and most local people are in fact bilingual. The cultural influence of Switzerland and Germany can also be felt, through the Swiss-style architecture of many buildings, and the German-based dialects that are spoken in some areas.

Alongside its many rivers and valleys, the Valle d'Aosta region boasts Europe's highest mountains and the largest national park in Italy, the aptly-named Gran Paradiso in the south. The park extends from the 4000 meter high mountain of the same name, and its three valleys offer superb skiing and trekking opportunities.

The Cogne valley is particularly popular for its botanical garden, which features a wealth of rare alpine flowers. Thousands of wild goats and mountain antelope live within the park.

The capital, Aosta, is the only sizable town in the region. Mountains rise up on all sides, and Aosta is a good base from which to visit the mountain resorts of Mont Blanc, Monte Rosa and the Matterhorn.

Aosta was founded way back in 25 B.C., but the feel of the town today is decidedly medieval, with cobbled streets and quaint shops.

If you are looking for a peaceful and unspoiled region in which to celebrate your wedding in Italy, look no further than Valle d'Aosta. A charming region of great natural beauty, it is a lovely place to get married.
