With life being slower than usual and whilst we are not travelling yet, we wanted to highlight some of the trails which make Aosta Valley a hikers paradise. Numerous trails surrounded by 4,000 metre summits, featuring beautiful chapels, delightful hamlets, alpine nature and spectacular mountain vistas await for you – here is a sample to inspire you! Cammino Balteo: This hiking itinerary that takes you through more than 40 municipalities of the Aosta Valley region, mostly at medium and low altitudes. A journey into the innermost heart of the territory and the local community, where human history has left the most evident signs of its passage, to discover the architecture of the villages as well as local traditions, still alive and deeply rooted, but also the rural landscape: pastures, vineyards, cellars and creameries. Cammino Balteo is a route that thrills in the presence of Roman and medieval history, but which also becomes an immersion in nature: lakes, waterfalls, nature reserves and wooded areas. The route is suitable to different seasons and thematic interests which allows everyone to adapt it to their own needs and time available. Alta Via Trails: running through Aosta Valley in the heart of the four giants of the Alps, the Alta Via Trail 1 and Alta Via Trail 2 can be walked in the summer months and cross medium and high altitude mountain areas, through meadows and pasturelands, woodlands and rocky outcrops, maintaining an average altitude of around 2,000 m.

  • Aosta Valley
    AOSTA VALLEY New life for the customs When customs checks on freight at EU internal borders came to an end, the Pollein- Brissogne customs checkpoint near Aosta lost 90% of its work and 300 of its employees. This large area, on the motorway running from France and Switzerland to the most highly industrialised parts of Italy, and thus in a very strategic position, has been redeveloped. It is now used for freight storage and trade in goods and services. Thanks to the ERDF-funded Interreg Programme, the Aosta Valley regional authorities and the European Union have begun to improve the area’s infrastructure, providing for: • a building to be used for freight handling and storage, customs offices to deal with trade with third countries and a hypermarket; • a “management” building housing offices, hotels, restaurants and shops; • a “communications tower”, which will play a technical role. The project is scheduled for completion in 2003, but the hypermarket opened in 1999 and some of the offices have already been completed. When operating at full capacity, the former customs checkpoint will provide about 500 jobs. A high-technology enterprise development centre At the end of 1997, with ERDF funding, an enterprise development centre was set up on an area left free following the closure in 1985 of the Ilssa-Viola aluminium plant, one of the most important industrial enterprises in the Aosta Valley. The task of the development centre, which employs about 60 people, is to help high-technology companies become established and to provide them with offices, secretarial services, conference and meeting rooms and multimedia facilities.

  • Real-Time Detection of Natural Snow Avalanches by Infrasonic Array Network (IAN) on December 2012 in Valtournenche – Aosta Valley (IT)
    International Snow Science Workshop Grenoble – Chamonix Mont-Blanc - 2013 Real-time detection of natural snow avalanches by Infrasonic Array Network (IAN) on December 2012 in Valtournenche – Aosta Valley (IT) Durand N.1, Ulivieri G.2, Marchetti E.2 , Frigo B.*, 1, Dellavedova P.1, Ripepe M.2, Segor V.3 1 Fondazione Montagna sicura - Montagne sûre, Courmayeur (AO) – Italy; 2 Dipartimento Scienze della Terra, University of Firenze, Firenze - Italy; 3 Struttura assetto idrogeologico dei bacini montani – Ufficio Neve e Valanghe, Regione Autonoma Valle d’Aosta, Quart (AO) - Italy; ABSTRACT: Since 2009 and within the Operational programme Italy-France (Alps ALCOTRA) – Pro- jects “DynAval” (2009-2012) and “Map3“ (2012-2014), infrasonic array technology is tested in Aosta Valley to real-time detect the natural and artificial avalanche activity in the Alpine areas. In winter 2012, an Infrasonic Array Network (IAN) operates around the Monte Rosa and Matterhorn areas, mon- itoring ~250 km2 of Valtournenche, Ayas and Gressoney Valleys. If single infrasonic array allows de- tecting small-to-medium size (~500 m3) powder avalanches in the 3-10 km distance range, providing relative location (direction of provenience and recording time) of the source, the IAN allows more pre- cise location (geographic position and time of occurrence), and the broadening of the area covered by the avalanche monitoring system. Information on identified events are broadcasted automatically in real-time (every 15 minutes), thus indicating potential sectors where avalanches might have occurred during the last 24 h or where to focus further avalanche control activity. The validation of the locations is done by comparing ground-truth (natural or artificial) avalanche events with the infrasonic meas- urements.

  • Een Kleine Vallei Met Een Groots Verhaal
    Een kleine vallei met een groots verhaal. Valle d’Aosta is de kleinste regio van Italië. Ze is omringd door de hoogste toppen van Europa en bestaat uit het centrale dal van de Dora Baltea, van- waar 13 kleinere zijdalen lopen die worden doorkruist door gletsjers en stro- men. Sinds de oudheid is het een belangrijk kruispunt van de westelijke Alpen. Op dit moment is het verbonden met Frankrijk via de Mont Blanc-tunnel en de Kleine Sint-Bernhardpas en met Zwitserland via de Grote Sint-Bernhardpas en -tunnel. De vallei was al in de prehistorie bewoond en werd bezet door de Salassi, een Gallo-Keltische bevolkingsgroep die na een lange strijd werd verdreven door de Romeinen in de 1ste eeuw v.Chr. De Romeinen vestigden zich in de regio en stichtten de stad Augusta Praetoria in 25 v.Chr. De vallei kwam later in handen van de Bourgondiërs, de Longobarden en de Karolin- gers tot ze de eigendom werd van het vorstenhuis Savoye. In 1191 verleende Thomas I van Savoye de “Carta delle Franchigie”, die het politieke en admi- nistratieve zelfbestuur erkende en van kracht bleef tot 1770. De vallei kende een vorm van autonomie met eigen wetten en werd bestuurd door de Staten Generaal, en vanaf 1536 door het Conseil des Commis, een soort bestuursraad die uit 24 leden bestond. Napoleon trok tijdens zijn campagne in Italië door de regio in 1800 en bracht de idealen van de revolutie met zich mee. Dit wekte sympathie en haat, bewondering en angst op en vormde de aanleiding voor legendes en verhalen die vandaag de dag nog steeds in de vallei worden verteld.
