    The former Roman road led through the Aosta Valley and past Donnas. This road connected Rome with the Rhône Valley. Remains of this Roman road can still be seen today on the outskirts of Donnas.
    Over a length of over 100 m, you can still see the tracks of the carts that have truly carved furrows into the rock.
