Sports and wellness in Cogne,
Aosta Valley

The Aosta Valley, surrounded by the highest massifs of Europe, is the smallest region of Italy. It is the deal destination for a mountain holiday all year round. The Valley awaits you, to make you discover a variety of places and sceneries in every season.

In winter, with a soft white cover of snow, and its pure and wild places, it is a paradise for mountain sports: downhill skiing and snowboarding, cross-country skiing, ski-mountaineering, ice climbing and skating, and much more.

In the other seasons, the beauty of nature unfolds with a triumph of colours and exciting atmospheres: from warm and varied autumn colours to the changing beds of wild flowers, and the sparkle of the still snow-capped peaks of Spring, to the blue skies, the sunny sceneries, the tinkle of the cowbells of the herds grazing on the mountain pastures in Summer.

The other seasons are ideal for one or more days' trekking, even spending the night in refuges and mountain huts that are present on the territory, or for short walks at the bottom of the valleys.

Pushbike lovers have a wide choice of scenic and fun itineraries for mountain bikes, for downhill, for cross-country, and for road cycling.

The climbs on the numerous peaks that frame the region, the “vie ferrate”, rock climbing walls, are the ideal goal for those who like verticality, silence, and open spaces.

It is not necessary to be a great sports person to come and visit the Aosta Valley, because this small mountain region is rich in history, culture, and places to relax. You can choose according to your preferences and maintain your rhythm.

Would you like to know its history and culture? Then don't miss a visit to the town of Aosta, its Roman monuments and its churches; the castles and the medieval towers scattered along the central valley; the museums that host the material and immaterial heritage of the territory and its population; the small villages and their typical stone and wood buildings.

Don't miss, if you can, the events that illustrate traditions and folklore all year round, in different moments and places in all the region.

For a day of total relaxation and cocooning, you can opt for a Spa! You can choose among the Pré-Saint-Didier one in the Valdigne, the Saint-Vincent one in the central valley, or the “Monterosaterme”.
