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.

TheAlps at the Sant'Orso Fair in Donnas

The Sant Orso Fair has taken place for almost 1000 years.

In the mid January the Sant'Orso Fair starts in Donnas. It is nearly 1000-year-old fair. TheAlps will be there!

Every January the Aosta Valley celebrates La Fiera di Sant’Orso. It is for sure one of the oldest festival and fair in the world. For over 1000 years it has been a place where local artisans can show their work. The fair is localized in the historical centres in Aosta and in the small village, Donnas.

En riktig toppenresa i Piemonte

Tack Marta, vet inte om jag sa det tillräckligt tydligt tidigare men, förutom det lilla missödet med hyrbilarna, så var det en riktig toppenresa.

Tänker tillbaks på hur trevligt vi hade det då och då under höstrusket här hemma!

Hälsningar,

Mats Jonas
