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.

Monterosa Ski Lift System
The Monterosa Ski lift system comprises 34 modern installations strategically positioned across three valleys, including Indren's high-alpine cable car reaching 3,275 metres. The network features the dramatic Passo Salati connections that efficiently link the constituent valleys, complemented by high-capacity gondolas providing base area access. Recent infrastructure investments have introduced RFID ticketing technology, heated seats on newer chairlifts, and expanded uphill capacity by 30%, effectively reducing wait times even during peak periods. The system's thoughtful design enables efficient exploration of varied terrain while maintaining distinct skiing experiences in each valley.

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.
