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 Walser Ultra Trail 2016

The 4th edition of the Monterosa Walser Ultra Trail is coming at the end of July to Gressoney.

The Monterosa Walser Ultra Trail 2016 is a running competition on mountain tracks. It will take place in Gressoney between 30th and 31st July. This year apart from two standard trails of 20km and 50km, organisers prepared a new one – 114km race that stretches along Gressoney and Ayas Valley.

The itinerary of trails was conceived by: Bruno Brunod (sky running world champion and Forte di Bard Team member), Franco Collé (Italian no. 1 for TdG 2012) and Giancarlo Annovazzi (Italian no. 1 for TdG 2011). The Monterosa Walser Ultra Trail aims at bringing awareness to an Alpine landscape and culture and their uniqueness.

Trails gain from 1000m to 4000m height and cover both amazing perspectives over Monte Rosa and Walser hamlets.

Registration will be closed the 28th July. The full program is available on the Monterosa Walser Ultra Trail website.
