AREA AND DISTANCES
Book a fun fondue in Valtournenche or Cervinia
In Valtournenche and Cervinia (15-minute drive), you’ll find restaurants offering delightful Aosta Valley cuisine, with the possibility to try a pizza that’s definitely worth tasting, even if you’re far from Naples. The Aosta Valley cuisine is quite rich and hearty due to the predominantly cold climate and the many outdoor activities that have always characterized this region. Besides the delicious Fontina Dop cheese from the Aosta Valley, which is especially enjoyed during fun fondue nights with friends, the hearty soups and typical cheese and cold cut platters, the region boasts a variety of traditional dishes, such as the famous carbonade, not to be confused with the Roman carbonara.
The carbonade from the Aosta Valley is a dish made with tender beef stew cooked in wine, usually served with a side of polenta. Other delicious dishes include polenta concia baked with melted fontina, veal chops golden fried in butter, pappardelle with wild game sauce, and to finish, a Valdostan coffee called grolla dell’amicizia, accompanied by sweet and crunchy Tegole d’Aosta, almond and hazelnut biscuits inspired by the region’s rooftops. One final tip: during peak season, it’s recommended to book a table in advance as all the restaurants are quite busy with visitors.
