Christmas Holiday in Valle d'Aosta, Italy

Ahh, so I had a great time in northern Italy, as far north as one can go! Literally, if I wanted, I could go into a valley within Switerland, then hop the ski lift for Italy, and travel further west for France in a third valley. Didn't, but could have.
This is the little village, St. Jacques, we stay in. It's adorable, has everything needed, and if you need more, the bigger village is just a 5 min drive away.
I decided not to ski on the first day, but just walk around and understand the area I was in better. So, I put on my green corduroy pants, expensive looking brown boots and black northface jacket--stylish of course ;)
I walked 1 km, not bad, to the next village, Frachey, and took pictures along the way. It was sunny, beautiful, not too cold, and snow was everywhere!! I loved it! Goodness knows I'd love to live in the mountains.
One of the photos is of the village's church. It's the smallest church I've ever seen and is really cute. It doesn't look small from the outside, but it's similar to a large bedroom...
I won't write descriptions for all the photos, just enjoy the view.


This is one of the ski lifts in to a valley I didn't venture in. You reach it by this train, which was cool to watch go up and down. Maybe in a few weekends I'll try it...
