Those arriving to ski or visit the spa are better off skipping Aosta and heading straight for the relevant valley: Saint-Vincent, with its casino and thermal baths, is about 25 minutes away; the Monterosa slopes, above Gressoney, are over an hour's drive and are only worth it for those staying several days.
