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.

Nothing offers more powerful experiences than trekking in nature. Although, it would be nice sometimes to see the trail even online. It is possible now with Google Street View. So let’s go trekking in Zermatt!

 

In the Zermatt-Matterhorn area youcan discover almost 400 km of hiking trails. Now you can have a virtual trip not only on mountain treks, but also through streets in Zermatt village and even participate in some activities like a heli ski. It is both a chance to experience the landscape when you simply cannot be there or as a part of the preparation for a trail.

To use the Google Street View go to Zermatt tourist office website. You will find there a list of all trails that are now virtually available in a 360° view. When you choose the trail or a place, just click on the icon "360° Panorama" in the right corner of the photo and you will end up in the right place.

You can virtually experience the 5-lake trail, the Gorner Glacier and even climbing the Breithorn (4164 m), among others.
