(firmenpresse) - The Aosta Valley in Northwest Italy is famed for its magnificent snowy mountains and popular winter sports resorts quil Aosta Valley attraction of them all, offering visitors the opportunity to learn more about different plant types while supporting the conservation of some of the rarest specieson earth.
