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.

Sportlov i Champoluc för nollåttorna

Vecka 9 2013 är det dags för stockholms sportlovsvecka. Som vanligt var det fullt i backen med soltörstande åksugna svenskar. Och vilket väder det blev. Lördag Fint. Söndag massor med snö. Måndag underbar sol och puder. Man vet inte ad man ska välja. Ett åk till eller en stund till i solstolen. Sen kom det ännu mer snö och efter det ännu mer snö. Under...

Maison Perriere ett hotell utöver det vanliga off the road in Champoluc

Hej, Marta!
Maison Perriere i byn Perriere är ett alldeles förtjusande ställe. Ett värdpar i övre medelåldern som förverkligat sin dröm om ett pensionat i bergen med spårbar, närodlad och hemlagad mat. Och den är verkligen helt...

Dear Marta

Thank you once more for organizing our trip to Monte Rosa. As discussed, please thank also Matteo and Jannik for us. It was an interesting experience despite the weather problems. Perhaps we'll try some other day again to go to Rifugio Margarita.

 

With best wishes
