Marta's Monterosa Blog

I am passionate about the Alps. They are my heart's home and the place where I would like to spend the last day of my life. I have been a tourist in the village of Champoluc in the Italian Monterosa for all my life and worked as a tourist operator in this area since more than 15 years.

I believe in respect for the special environment of this place that you can find only here. We all gain by enjoying its beauty, while trying to make a minimum impact at the same time. Leave it for our children in the future!

I believe in respect for people who live here with their traditions and culture, language, and work, their genuine products and delicious wines. They open their homes for us, tourists and meet us as their guests, if we are able to open our hearts for them. I have a friend who is a hotel owner and he says that when stressed people from the city come to his place, he tells them to sit down and take a drink before they even begin to worry if they have a room. Perhaps, we can bring a little of their kindness and calmness with us on our way back to the city.

My philosophy is to give back a little of what the mountains and the people from this place have given to me and to my family through my work, to communicate my philosophy and my passion to those who follow me on the blog, and in my trips as a tour operator.

If you would like to visit Champoluc, Gressoney, Alagna or other villages in the Aosta Valley, trek or ski in the Monterosa, discover Sardinia or other places we offer, contact us.

A great week of skiing in Monterosa

Champoluc skiing

A great week of skiing in Monterosa - week 8/2016!

Thanks a lot Linnea and Marta for making one week of skiing into a huge success for my son and I!!

Background & a package put together by The Alps

Two experienced on piste skiers from Norway, my son age 14 and myself, age 52 have been planning an off-piste ski trip for a couple of years now, browsing the web for information. Then I got in touch with The Alps, and Line and Marta compiled a perfect package of 2 days with on piste skiing and 4 days of off-piste skiing with mountain guide, ski gear rental, ski pass and bed and breakfast in a 3-star hotel in Champoluc, Monterosa.

Into the woods

The Monterosa-ski area connects three different valleys: Ayas, where you find Champoluc, Lys, which is the name of the river crossing Gressoney, and Valsesia, with its famous freeride paradise Alagna.
