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.

Crowdfunded ski passes in Saas-Fee

“Saas-Fee

The Swizz resort offers an 80-percent discount on season passes valid for one, three or 15 years.

A whole winter of skiing in Saas-Fee would then be cheaper than a four-day ski pass for the same area - but it will only happen if enough people sign up.

The deal is based on the crowdfunding principle. And kicks in at 99.999 pre-booked ski passes. If the goal isn’t reach the passes will be sold at regular prices.

According to Saas-Fee Tourism the normal sell is around 120.000 lift passes during the season, from one-day passes to full season passes. The crowdfunded ski passes are a step toward balancing the supply and demand. In a statement, the resort says: “In many areas, the surplus of resorts means that costs can no longer be covered. Saas-Fee wants to solve the problem by introducing a revolutionary price concept.” At the time of writing 12195 people have signed up for the deal.

From now until November 27th, with special discounts until 6th November, winter sports fans can book their discount WinterCard Saas-Fee online at we-make-it-happen.ch.
