Resort Overview

Monterosa Ski unites three parallel valleys—Champoluc, Gressoney, and Alagna—creating one of Italy's largest interconnected ski domains with 180 kilometres of marked pistes and vast off-piste possibilities. The resort spans elevations from 1,212 to 3,275 metres across the eastern flanks of Monte Rosa, western Europe's second-highest massif. Modern snowmaking systems cover 60% of all marked runs, complementing natural snowfall that averages 6 metres annually at higher elevations. The area combines extensive intermediate pistes with legendary freeride terrain, including the famous 1,500-metre Indren vertical descent, while maintaining dedicated beginner zones in each valley base area.

Location & Getting There

Set across the regions of Piedmont and Aosta, Monterosa Ski encompasses three distinctive valleys each with their own character: cosmopolitan Champoluc, centrally-positioned Gressoney, and freeride-focused Alagna. These traditional mountain communities maintain authentic Alpine architecture and strong cultural connections to their historical roots, with Alagna particularly notable for its preserved Walser heritage dating to 13th-century Germanic settlements. The surrounding region features remarkable biodiversity within protected alpine zones, and the area's position on Monte Rosa's eastern flanks creates spectacular skiing backdrops with views of 4,000-metre peaks including the iconic Matterhorn visible from higher slopes.

Season Info

The Monterosa Ski winter season typically runs from early December through late April, with optimal conditions from January through March. The area's extensive vertical range and predominantly north-facing aspect ensure excellent snow preservation throughout winter, particularly on higher elevation sectors. Early season operations concentrate around mid-mountain areas before expanding across the entire network by Christmas week. February delivers peak snow conditions, often with significant powder accumulations in the Alagna sector, while March brings excellent spring skiing with reliable morning conditions after overnight freezes. The high-alpine Indren sector often maintains skiable conditions into May.
