Monterosa Ski Area

The Monterosa Ski area is one of the largest and most renowned ski resorts in the Italian Alps, connecting the valleys of Gressoney, Ayas (Champoluc), and Valsesia (Alagna) across a vast expanse of high-altitude terrain. It offers approximately 180 km of interconnected slopes, served by 37 modern lifts capable of transporting around 65,000 people per hour. The ski area boasts a diverse range of pistes: approximately 60% are red (intermediate), 30% are blue (easy), and 10% are black (expert), catering to all skill levels. Renowned for its superb snow conditions, extensive off-piste opportunities, and breathtaking views of the Monte Rosa massif, it is a freeride paradise. Key lifts provide access to altitudes up to 3,275 meters (Punta Indren cable car). A daily ski pass typically ranges from €50-€65, with seasonal passes and multi-day options available. The season generally runs from early December to late April.
