Aosta Corrado Gex Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels

Corrado Gex airport is in Saint-Christophe, just 2 km from Aosta: travellers who only need to check in or have an early-morning flight will find it convenient to stay in the city, about twenty minutes from the terminal once you factor in urban traffic. 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.
