Passi e valli in bicicletta - Valle d’Aosta

The architect Le Corbusier defined the Dolomites as "the most beautiful construction in the world". Another splendid work was erected by nature in the north-west corner of the Alps. Up there the chain, starting from the Gran Paradiso, reaches Monte Rosa passing through Mont Blanc, the Grandes Jorasses, the Grand Combin, the Dent d' Hérens and the Matterhorn, “the perfect mountain”. The guide dedicated to this region offers 57 itineraries divided into 4 chapters corresponding to as many areas: the lower, middle and upper Valle d'Aosta and, between the medium and upper, the Aosta area with Valpelline and the Great Saint Bernard Valley. The guide is full of technical elements (distances, gradients, difficulties, key points) and notes on the history of the valley, its traditions, landscapes, Roman monuments, castles, major recent constructions. It will make those who don't know it love this extraordinary Alpine country and will make those who already know it love it even more.
