Riserva del Tsatelet, Aosta
Aosta Valley
The Tsatelet is a rounded glacial knoll on the edge of Aosta, protected for its dry-meadow flora and its Copper Age cup-and-ring carvings. A short signed nature loop climbs from Aosta's northern edge to the crown, where the whole Roman street grid of the city lies below against a ring of high peaks.
