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.

Snowshoes Champoluc

We are still enjoying winter season in the Monterosa. We have decided to prepare TheAlps’ Top 5 regarding non-skiing activities. What to do in the Monterosa if you do not want to ski? Linnea, our tour producer, presents her non-skiing Top 5!

1) Snowshoes

Put on snowshoes and go for a walk to one of the Walser villages like Mascognaz or Aruola. Beautiful views, a bit of exercise, and genuine culture experience are included. You can rent snowshoes in one of ski rental shops in one of resorts. If you would like to have a guide to help you around, contact us!

Aperitivo time

2) Aperitivo time

Do like locals do! Start and end your day in one of bars. Taste brioche, order classical Italian cappuccino, and above all, enjoy your aperitivo.

3) Monterosa Terme

There is always a good reason to relax in SPA. We recommend Monterosa Terme, brand new spa in Champoluc - worth every penny!

And finally, do not forget to visit local boutiques to find local meat, cheese, and wine to prepare delicious supper for tonight.

5) Jean e Louis skating rink

And last, but not least – ice skating rink in Champoluc. It is an outdoor run, so you can enjoy not only skating, but also a lot of fresh air and amazing views around. Rental shop is located nearby.
