Sheltered by the towering peaks of Europe's highest peak, Mont Blanc, the Matterhorn and Monte Rosa, the reaches of the Val d'Aosta remain entirely mountainous. In the valley itself exists a unique culture, complete with battling cows, (an old Aosta tradition), Roman ruins and a hundred different castles. Glaciers, Gothic sculptures, Baroque village churches, numerous fortresses, spectacular views and glamorous ski resorts like Courmayeur also add to the mix. The food is hearty and the local inhabitants speak French, Italian and a bit of Patois, a dialect whose origins lie in Provence.
