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.

Zermatt igloo village

From the upcoming Friday you can try something real genuine in Zermatt - overnight in an igloo. 

On the 5th December the Zermatt Igloo Village will be opened. There are some igloos already built at the location with a view of the Matterhorn. You can also try and build one for yourself using prepared blocks of snow. 

The Igloo Village is located in six locations in Switzerland and even one in Spain, in Pyrenees. Every year igloos are made of 3000 tons of snow. It is a very ecological and sustainable hotel, although, seasonal. 

This year the Zermatt Igloo Village offers some new options, like more romantic Love Nest. At the beginning of winter price reductions come until Christmas. If you are not sure about sleeping in an ice environment, there are always a possibility to visit the village, drink in an igloo bar or even have a barbecue. 

Check new offers of the Zermatt Igloo Village.
