Aosta Getting there & around

Getting there & away

Buses operated by Savda (www.savda.it) run to Milan (1½ to 3½ hours, two daily), Turin (two hours, up to 10 daily) and Courmayeur (one hour, up to eight daily), as well as French destinations including Chamonix. Services leave from Aosta’s bus station (0165 26 20 27; Via Giorgio Carrel), virtually opposite the train station. To get to Breuil-Cervinia, take a Turin-bound bus to Châtillon (30 minutes, eight daily), then a connecting bus (one hour, seven daily) to the resort.

Aosta’s train station, on Piazza Manzetti, is served by trains from most parts of Italy via Turin (€7.10, two to 2½ hours, more than 10 daily).

Aosta is on the A5, which connects Turin with the Mont Blanc Tunnel and France. Another exit road north of the city leads to the Great St Bernard Tunnel and on to Switzerland.
