Lignan is located at about 1,600 meters in the Vallone di Saint-Barthélemy, in an open position that marks the transition from the woods to a more alpine environment. The road that reaches it is regular and very rideable, with an ever-widening view as you ascend. Here you will also find the Astronomical Observatory of the Aosta Valley, in an area particularly favorable for the quality of the sky.

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.
