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.

Monterosa Ski Ski Alp race

At the beginning of March the Monterosa Ski Alp Alpine Ski Touring Race will take place for the 6th time. Competitors will run at night across Monte Rosa, Gressoney Valley to Champoluc.

The 6th edition of the race will take place on March, the 4th. Competitors, in teams of two, will use classic Alpine technique to reach Monte Rosa peaks at 2750m. The race will start and finish in Champoluc, crossing Gressoney Valley at Staffal. It covers 30km tough route.

This year the organisers have prepared some changes as runners will go through a new footpath along a steep black slope from Staffal up to Sitten what makes the race even harder.

The race, divided into two categories – male and female, will start at 6pm in Champoluc and finish there as well (at the end of the Pistone del Bosco C1 piste).

The race begins at 6pm in Champoluc, Ayas. The finish line is also in Champoluc – at the end of the Pistone del Bosco C1 piste.
