Valle d'Aosta Travel Forum

Dear VTers

I will be in Courmayeur, Valle d'Aosta for 3 days on a work retreat. Since I don't ski and since I'm a big fan of Freddie Mercury, I thought about taking a day trip to Montreux to visit his memorial statue. The trouble is I can't seem to find much travel information. I know there are bus services which go from Courmayeur to Turin, Milan and Genoa but that's all the information I have! Does anybody have any idea of what would be the quickest/easiest way to reach Montreux? I've thought about getting a taxi to a station then getting a train from there if that would be easier (although it's definitely more expensive). Any information would be fantastic. Thanks!

Hello

We will be having a short break in Valle d'Aosta (staying in Pollein - Express by Holiday Inn) in June and were wondering if there are any suggestions as to places we should visit. Is it recommended to hire a car? Are there any parks in the vicinity where our 5year old son could have fun?

Thanks

hi i wanna go to milan to aosta how much time will it take by bus or train? plz help me

I am a geologist who needs to traverse from Aosta to Zermatt. From what I have gathered we will have to cross four glaciers and it will probably take us 2 days. I am having a hard time finding a map with all the possible trails between Aosta and Zermatt and all the possible huts along the way. This is sort of round about stuff to be on the internet and find out about. Our group has extensive alpine training and we just have to figure out our basic route before comming up to Aosta on May 22 to begin the trek. I would appreciate ANY advice

Thanks for your help

Hi there,
Look, I'm in Torino right now and I'll have a longer week-end, in fact a mini break of 4 days. I would like to hike somewhere, as I have my hiking gear with me...from plastic boots to tent.

1. Could you suggest me something nice ? I am thinking of Valle d'Aosta but this is not a must.
2. Do you know where is there already snow by now ?

Many thanks,
Radu

I'm heading to Italy for a week in early September. So far, I'm thinking of doing some routes around Gran Paradiso, anything which doesn't involve scrambling or climbing as i'll be by myself. Can anyone reccommend a good english (or french) hiking guide book for the area? Also, any general suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Any suggestions as to best way to go? Car necessary? Also, how long will it take for the trip, AND how long to go from Milan to Venice?
Thanks.

Help,,,
I will be arriving in Turino next week and have two days to wait for my friends from Norway to arrive before we leave for the Alps to ski. What should I do until they get there? I would like to get close to the mountains so I can ski a little before they arrive, but not too far away from Turino.

How long does it take to travel by bus or train from Turino to Aosta? And How easy is it to catch a bus from the airport?

Where can I stay for cheap?

Thank you,
Eric.

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knows about local transport between la palud-courmayeur-aosta - I have some questions!

- is there bus/ train ?
- How frequent are the services?
- Is this transport available everyday of the week?
- how much does this cost for a single journey?


many thanks!

Is there a Euro Rail that goes from Venice to Chatillon. My final destination is actually Breuil. But I hear that Chatillon is the closest station? Please advise....

Thinking about going from Annecy into Italy (Aosta) and then up to switzerland. Is going by train best, or car? (Wondering if I could rent a car in Aosta and dro it off in Switzerland). Would this be very expensive?

Any suggestions?

THANKS.

I'm planning several days in the Valle d'Aosta at the beginning of November. Will there be snow? And are their sledding activities for children anywhere? I'm also looking for a 2-room apartment-type accommodation for me and my son. Any ideas? We want to see the national park and the mountains.

Hi,
I'm planning to trip to Aosta for 3 days in the beginning of September.
Is it a good choice for short vocation?
What the preferred walking routs?
Is it possible to stay in camping with tent? Or it's already to cold in the beginning of September to sleep outside?
Thank you.
