Monte Rosa Peak, Italy
Monte Rosa peak, left, and the Valle d’Aosta, right, are located in the western Italian Alps. Monte Rosa rises along the border of the Valle d’Aosta, along with the Matterhorn and Mont Blanc. The valleys between the mountains form natural passes, and road and rail tunnels through the range have been constructed to facilitate travel and trade between Italy, France, and Switzerland.
