Monterosa

One of Italy’s youngest ski resorts, Monterosa consists of three valleys namely Alagna, Champoluc and Gressoney. It is situated at the foot of Monte Rosa, a mountain mass in Western Europe on the Swiss-Italian border. The three valleys move as a single district especially in terms of working towards the advancement of the area as a prime winter and summer destination.

Monterosa has all the elements needed to attract visitors. It is a resort composed of beautiful villages in a delightfully untouched setting. The area has several hotels and apartments that are designed to complement and not distract from the captivating panorama.

This winter destination offers a host of activities, which of course includes skiing and others such as snowboarding, downhill skiing, cross-country skiing and mountain climbing. It offers good skiing for the intermediate-level skiers but may prove a little difficult for beginners. Advanced skiers may opt for more challenging run by venturing off-piste but having a guide is strongly recommended.

Monterosa does not limit itself to being a winter destination but has prospered into being a prime summer attraction as well. Some activities visitors can engage in are playing golf or tennis, horse-back riding, walking or just simply relaxing in numerous fitness and wellness facilities. The valleys of Monterosa are beautiful when snow covered in winter as it is dressed up in colors of nature in summer.

Monterosa’s main attraction lies in it being relatively undiscovered thereby affording visitors that much needed space allowing for real relaxation. By virtue of this condition, the ski areas, hotels and restaurants all give exceptional values. It also has to its advantage the spectacular view of the Monte Rosa glaciers.
