The mix of natural wealth and landscapes is the real asset of this region, something which the local population has aimed to conserve for centuries. Valle d'Aosta is an enormous natural reserve with numerous sites (the botanical gardens and parks of Gran Paradiso and Mont Avic in particular) which allow visitors to be in direct contact with nature.
There are 5 beautiful 9- hole golf courses here in Valle d'Aosta (Courmayeur, Gignod, Pila, Gressoney-Saint-Jean, Cervinia) and a practice course right next to the airport in Saint Christophe which cater for the needs of golf lovers eager to play in an exclusive, natural setting.
