Новогодняя Ярмарка "Marché Vert Noël"

Between the end of November and the beginning of January, the Marché Vert Noël turns one of the most magical places in Aosta, the central Piazza Chanoux - into enchanting alpine villages.

Delicious local specialties, wines, handicrafts, traditional objects, gifts, Nordic inspirations… affordable little luxuries to conjure up the convivial flavour of the festive season!

Every day, visitors can stroll through the “Streets” of the villages, between the chalets, in search of a gift idea among the crafts on display: candles, handmade soaps, ceramics, wooden handicrafts, antique objects and furniture, clothing and accessories in boiled wool and felt, hemp, lace, Christmas decorations, typical food, wine, sweets and pastries from the region, articles featuring découpage or other decorative or craft techniques.
