The Mont Fallère Refuge, at 2,385 m, is located in the valley between Mont Fallère and Monte Rosso di Vertosan. It offers 50 beds in rooms with bathrooms, and has a restaurant with typical cuisine. Open in summer, it can be reached on foot or by mountain bike.

The regional capital is located in the middle of the valley of the same name. The city still has the layout of the old Roman castrum, and in the car-free centre several monuments recall the Roman period. Aosta was a lively religious centre in the Middle Ages. St. Anselm, the later Archbishop of Canterbury who died in 1109, was born here. Today Aosta is a busy tourist hub at the crossroads of the roads to the Great St. Bernard Pass and Switzerland.

Piazza Émile Chanoux is the central square of Aosta, located in the Valle d’Aosta region of Italy. Named after the notary and resistance leader Émile Chanoux, the square is a rectangular square with its long sides facing north and south. The square is surrounded by elegant buildings, including the neoclassical Town Hall (Hôtel de Ville), which is richly decorated with frescoes and marquetry. In front of the Town Hall is a monument to the Soldier of the Aosta Valley, made by Pietro Canonica in 1924. The square serves as a meeting place and venue for festivals and markets, and is also home to the Hôtel des États, an important 18th-century building now used for temporary exhibitions.

The Porta Pretoria was one of the four gateways to Roman Aosta. These gates were used to collect tolls on traders entering the city. The gate was built with puddinga, but during the second half of the 1st century AD it underwent a restyling with the addition of green bardiglio marble from the Aymavilles quarries and white Carrara marble. In the Middle Ages, one of the towers was inhabited by the powerful Port Sancti Ursi family, who collected toll booths from anyone who passed through. They also built a chapel dedicated to the Holy Trinity, which was unfortunately destroyed during later restoration work in the Fascist period. Today, the Porta Pretoria still forms the entrance to the historic center of Aosta and is one of the city's most important monuments

The Roman theater of Aosta is one of the most significant monuments of Roman theatrical architecture in northern Italy and is among the most prestigious testimonies of the origins of the ancient restoration which for years affected the 22 meters high southern façade, the sole survivor. Of the original theater, the auditorium and the foundations of the wall that served as the backdrop remain visible today.
