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.

The Alps Val Calanca

Recharge.green is the international project focused on researching the potential of the Alps regarding the use of renewable energy. There are a great potential that needs to be discovered in the highest European mountains.

The Alps have great potential for the use of renewable energy. That is why they can make a valuable contribution to mitigating climate change. This, however, means increasing pressure on nature. What could be the impact of such changes on animals and plants? How do they affect land use and soil quality? How much renewable energy can reasonably be used?

The project recharge.green brings together 16 partners to develop strategies and tools for decision-making, as well as developing tools to answer such questions. It will last till June 2015 (started in October 2012) and finish with the final conference in Sonthofen in Germany (20-21 May 2015). It is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund in the Alpine Space Programme.

The international conference is aimed at decision makers, representatives of administrations, energy companies, NGOs and anyone else interested in the topic. The conference programme will be available recharge.green website where you can find more information about the project.
