Piemont and the neighboring Valle are -apart from Turin and its cultural splendours- essentially countryside. To the north lie the Alps, with ski resorts such as Courmayerm, and the wild stretches of the Parco Nazionale del Gran Paradiso. To the south lie the vineyard-clad hills around Barolo, and seemingly endless fields of grain and rice, used in the local dish risotto. In Italian: Valle d' Aosta and Piedmont and in French: Vallee d'Aoste ). It is one out of the four autonomous Italian regions
