The Aosta Valley in November is a perfect destination for those who enjoy fall landscapes, traditional cuisine and a sustainable travel experience. With an electric car, you can discover three of the region’s gems: the Col de Joux, the Fondue Valdostana, and the Gran Paradiso National Park.
Col de Joux: A Forest of Colors and Serenity
Located above the town of Saint-Vincent, the Col de Joux is a must-see. This scenic road leads to Brusson and passes through a mixed forest dominated by conifers, whose deep green mingles with the auburn and purple hues of wild cherry trees.
With an electric car, you can enjoy the journey in silence, immersing yourself in the sounds of nature. If you have time, visit the Borna Arboretum in Laou, also known as the “place of the wolf,” on the Val d’Ayas regional road. Here you can discover a variety of plants described in informative signs, perfect for botany lovers.
Fondue Valdostana: The Heart of Gastronomic Tradition
You can’t leave the Aosta Valley without savoring the famous Fonduta Valdostana, a dish that celebrates Fontina DOP, one of the region’s iconic cheeses. Ideal for warming up on cold fall days, fondue is served with bread croutons or boiled potatoes, creating a unique dining experience.
Many restaurants and agritourisms offer variations of the traditional recipe, perfect for lunch or dinner after a day of exploring. Remember that many places support electric mobility, with charging stations available for visitors.
Gran Paradiso National Park: Uncontaminated Nature and Fauna
Gran Paradiso National Park is an ideal place for those seeking direct contact with nature. November is a quiet month to visit the park, away from the summer and winter crowds.
As you cross the trails, you may encounter chamois, ibex and other species of local wildlife. The crisp air and silence of the park make every walk a rejuvenating experience. With your electric car, you can access nearby parking lots while minimizing your environmental impact.
