Steep, high-altitude, unpolluted pastures, terraced on mountainsides covered with lush, aromatic grasses. This is where Valdostana cows, sheep, and goats graze, the ones that ultimately produce the wonderful cheese and dairy products showcased in the new MHz Choice travel series, Le Petit Tour. 

The Valle d’Aosta (Aosta Valley), considered the heart of the Italian Alps, is bordered by France and Switzerland. Surrounded by some of the highest peaks in Europe—Mont Blanc, Matterhorn (Monte Cervino), Monte Rosa, and Gran Paradiso—it is the smallest, and many would say most scenic, region in Italy.
