Red and black, the colors of the flag of the Valle d'Aosta region, also distinguish the typical costume of Courmayeur.
The female costume is enriched at the neck and wrists by a thickly pleated, starched high lace raised at the nape of the neck. It is inspired by the clothes that women wore on festive occasions: heavy home-woven wool, colorful silks for the aprons, an open-fronted bolero and traditional jewels, a beaded necklace and a black velvet necklace with a heart and a gold cross.
The men's costume, rigorous and elegant, takes inspiration from the Napoleonic uniforms passing through the Aosta Valley in 1800.
