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.

Hej Marta!

Tänkte bara berätta lite hur det gått med allt. Karins skidor blev ju som sagt stulna o till slut lyckades vi med Bartolomeus hjälp – det hade absolut inte gått utan hans hjälp – få till en polisanmälan. Har anmält det nu till If men vi har inte kvar några kvitton o har heller ingen aning om vad det var för modell mer än att det...

Weekend med vandring

Weekend med vandring

Tack Marta för en fantastiskt bra arrangerad weekend i Monterosa! Otrolig tur med vädret, molnfritt hela helgen och vindstilla även uppe på topparna. Tuff vandring från Alagna och 2400 höjdmeter upp till rifugio Gnifetti på en dag, sedan enklare tur upp till Punta Gnifetti och rifugio Margherita där vi stannade för natten (ja, så mycket sömn blev det inte...

Tidig sommarvandring

Hej Marta och tack!

Vi hade en jättemysig helg i Champoluc. Efter att vi till slut kommit in på Castro, och druckit av champagnen (tack!) blev det en väldigt god raclettemiddag på Bistro.
Det var verkligen jättelängesen vi åt...

Bad weather and good guide!

Hi Marta,
 
Back last night after a good stay in Champoluc.  Hotel Castor looked after us fine and the owners are very welcoming.
Rudy was brilliant and we look forward to seeing him more next year.  It was a shame the weather was so bad but at least we had a great day on the last day with lots of snow.

Fathers and daughters

Hi Marta,

We had an excellent long weekend in Champoluc. The Hotel (L’Aiglon) was okay, the food could have better though, I would recommend only breakfast and not half board. We had dinner Friday, but skipped Saturday and went out. The water in the Jacuzzi was very cold and not comfortable....
