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.

Cervinia. Ski right to the town

First trail, Cervinia

Recent snowfalls in the Aosta Valley mean more and more pistes open. Now it is possible to ski right to Cervinia.

The ski run “Ventina” (no. 5) was opened last Saturday. It runs from Plateau Rosa at 3 500 m down to the town (2 050 m). The 11-km-long route is one of the most popular in the “Cervinia Ski Pradise" area. Along the Ventina the chairlift Goillet started operating in the upper part of the piste, as well as the skylight Gran Sometta (but only during weekends). The connection between Cervinia and Zermatt is also in use so there is even more to be excited about.

The price of the daily Italian area skipass is € 35,00; the price of the international area daily skipass is € 52,00 (the international connection is open with the lifts on the Plateau Rosà glacier). First ride up from Breuil-Cervinia at 8.15am.

Weather forecasts show even more snowfalls this weekend in the region.
