Check out the Ski Club’s holidays available in this resort
There is a decent beginner zone on the fringes of Gressoney, but this really is a resort for intermediates upwards. Fans of piste skiing will enjoy the reds above Seehorn and towards the lofty Passo Salati at 2,971m on the Alagna side of the valley and the long runs over to Champoluc are also a must. Just watch out for the steeper black G6 above Stafal – in bad snow conditions it may be worth downloading the gondola to get across towards Champoluc.
It is for advanced and expert skiers and boarders that this resort really comes into its own however. The jewel in the crown is Punta Indren, where long off piste runs drop down over 1,000m. Hiring a mountain guide or joining a Ski Club Freshtracks holiday here will ensure you make the most of the terrain, which expands into a vast playground if you have a set of touring skins. Another bonus here is that the snow often remains untracked for longer – crowds are almost unheard of.
Gressoney is a traditional Italian mountain village, with an attractive cobbled centre that is dominated by old wooden buildings. A slight issue is the only lift directly from town is a slow two-man chair up to Punta Jolanda – you may want to consider catching the bus up to the lift hub at Stafal instead.
There are a few hotels up by Stafal and the main lifts, but there is very little else, especially on the evening activity front. Gressoney itself is also quiet, but there is a better choice of atmospheric bars, good restaurants and small shops – just don’t come here expecting raucous parties and late nights.
The Monterosa Ski Area employs dynamic pricing, with the topline rate varying between €38 and €67 per day, depending on time of year, day, and demand. Discounts off this topline day rate are available the further you book in advance, when booking online, and booking consecutive days.
You can use your Ski Club Membership card to load your Monterosa Ski Area lift ticket, either online or at the ticket office, and avoid the €2 fee for purchasing a new RFID card from the resort. More details can be found here.

Snow will fall fairly steadily across higher ground in the Northwest of the country as unsettled weather in the Atlantic and Scandinavia makes a fair go of it over the Main Alpine Ridge. Around a foot can be expected although with a freezing line of around 2,000m for most of this week, very little of it will make it down to lower elevations.
Elsewhere, the Dolomites will see a sharp dump of snow on Tuesday, before the remainder of the week stays fairly steady albeit with a few floccons coming down along the way. A similar story is in store for the Via Lattea, where a limited snowfall is expected.
High pressure does move in to the region toward the end of the weekend, bringing fine, dry and bright conditions for many, and plummeting temperatures as the freezing line drops sharply.
