Summer is in full swing, and the Aosta Valley comes alive with a packed calendar of events dedicated to sports, culture, food and wine, and local traditions.
Whatever your idea of a vacation may be, August is the perfect time to explore the region while staying at Alpissima Hotels, right in the heart of the action.
Aosta: A Blend of Tradition, Craftsmanship, and Culture
If you choose to stay at the Hotel Duca d'Aosta or the OMAMA Social Hotel, you can immerse yourself in the lively atmosphere of the capital of the Aosta Valley.
On August 1, the historic Foire d’Été returns—one of the most anticipated events of the summer—when the historic center transforms into a vast open-air workshop with hundreds of artisans showcasing their creations in wood, stone, iron, and textiles. Alongside the fair, Orsoff – Fuori Fiera brings the squares to life with live music, performances, tastings, and entertainment until late in the evening.
For lovers of contemporary crafts, the Atelier – Summer Edition offers a selection of the best artistic creations from the Aosta Valley, while the rich program of Meraviglie d’Estate invites visitors to discover Aosta through guided tours, concerts, and cultural events hosted in some of the city’s most picturesque locations.
And for sports enthusiasts, don’t miss Asta in Piazza, a day dedicated to rock climbing and outdoor sports that brings the vertical world to the heart of the historic center.
Courmayeur, the world capital of trail running
August also means the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc®, the event that draws thousands of athletes and enthusiasts from around the world to the foothills of Mont Blanc every year.
When you stay at the Gran Baita Courmayeur, you can experience the unique atmosphere of the UTMB® up close, watching the races start and finish or simply soaking up the energy of a week that transforms Courmayeur into the world capital of trail running.
Even the youngest participants get caught up in the excitement with the Mini UTMB, while the Courmayeur Food Market offers the perfect opportunity to savor traditional products from the Aosta Valley, culinary delights, and local specialties as you stroll through the streets of downtown.
La Thuile: Flavors, Movies, and Majestic Mountains
