The Monterosa ski area is split into three valleys - Champoluc, Gressoney and Alagna, with Gressoney sitting in the middle. One lift pass covers the entire area, all of which are linked, so there is no chance of getting bored.
Situated between 1640 - 3275m, Monterosa offers a vast choice of 213 kms runs. The main ski areas are accessed from the village via two gondolas, one which heads East in the direction of Alagna and the other which heads West towards Champoluc. Regardless of which direction you choose to take, this is where the skiing really opens up to provide a vast choice of runs, complemented by an even vaster scenery.
