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.

Illuminating mountain in Saas-Fee

To celebrate the 200th anniversary of Valais joining to the Swiss Confederation a special event is prepared. In a moonless night several of four-thousanders surrounding the valley will be illuminated.

It is the most spectacular event to celebrate the anniversary and for sure, worth seeing.  13 mountains, Allalin, Täschhorn, and Dom, among others, in Valais region will shine at the same time at night.

The so-called “star project” will take place between 18th and 20th March (at 8.15 p.m.), depending on the weather conditions. If you are in Saas-Fee at that time here you will find the best observation points to admire the amazing views:

  • in front of the barns between the Tourist Office and the Post Office.
  • on the village square
  • at Sportplatz Kalbermatten
  • on the Panorama bridge

If you speak German or French, check the 13 stars at the top website for more information.
