Views along the valley before
reaching Aosta. Aosta
We visited Aosta on Sunday 11th July, whilst on our way from Desenzano to Chamonix. It is a town right up at the top end of the valley, not too far from the Alps and the Mont Blanc Tunnel. We were a little surprised to find such a lot of good Roman ruins.
