Val d'Aosta ( Aosta )

AOSTA

The ride from Torino to Aosta was indeed breath-taking. Passing by meadow fields with cows grazing grasses and also smelling their dung as we lowered the train glass window were unforgettable memories. Along the ride, we passed by many small towns and seeing tall mountain peaks and the forest in late autumn season with orange and brown foliages. Some peaks were capped with a thin layer of snow. Our excitement built up as we are moving further and further away from Perugia, Central Italy.

Upon reaching Aosta train station, we were surprised to see a pinkish train station with lots of students waiting for the trains. The students came form the small villages around Aosta and they were curious to see Asians ( my brother and myself ). From the station, we could the signage to the main square, Piazza di Chanoux.
