Check out the Ski Club’s holidays available in this resort
While there is a small beginner zone in the Alagna valley at Wold, this really is a resort more suited for intermediate and advanced skiers.
Fans of piste skiing will enjoy the gentle blues at Cimalegna and the long reds down into Gressoney. For more confident intermediates, attempting to get all the way to Champoluc is well worth it, just watch out for the steeper black G6 into Gressoney โ 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 1000m.
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 โ crowds are almost unheard of!
A small hamlet, Alagna sits on the far eastern fringes of the Monterosa ski area, in the next valley over from Gressoney. Comprised of old wooden buildings, a pretty church and quiet streets, it feel distinctly different from the conventional ski resort and instead it oozes traditional Italian charm, with great food and hospitality on offer.
The Monterosa Ski Area employs dynamic pricing, with the topline rate varying between โฌ38 and โฌ67 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 โฌ2 fee for purchasing a new RFID card from the resort. More details can be found here.

Winter returns in a big way to many areas in the Italian Alps this week, with some huge totals in store for parts of the northwest. Here, extraordinarily unsettled conditions will bring up to a metre-and-a-half of snowfall to higher elevations, as the freezing line sits around 2,000m. This will be met by strong winds, however, so expect the leeward slopes to be heavily loaded and a lot of snow to be moved around before it settles down. Friday will see a brief pause in the idiocy, before another foot falls on Saturday – this time reaching many elevations as the freezing line drops close to 500m overnight into Sunday.
Both the east and southwest of the Italian Alps will follow similar patterns to each other. Some snow will fall over the middle of this week, with a good half-a-foot in the southwest, staying on higher ground thanks to a high freezing line. Some more snow will move in on the weekend, but with a far more limited impact that otherwise might have been.
More unsettled weather stays in play throughout the new week.
