Weekly programme, social hour, and contact details
The three-valley network of lifts and pistes is anything but small-scale. Champoluc is at one end of it and Alagna at the other – they are 17km apart – slightly further apart than Courchevel and Val-Thorens. However, it’s around a four-hour trip by road to get from Alagna to Champoluc if you miss the last lift.
Given the lack of international exposure it retains a friendly, small-scale, unspoiled Italian ambience. Yet it offers some of the best off piste in the whole of Italy.
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.

A decidedly mixed week is in store across Italy through the end of this week and through the weekend. Things will start mild across the region, with positive temperatures expected at 2,000m. High pressure will bring fine, dry and bright conditions to southwesterley reaches, whilst other areas will retain a mix of cloud and sun.
A large, dense area of low pressure will move in over Ireland, the UK and Northern Europe, bringing snow to many areas on Thursday. Snow will fall from Thursday morning onwards, initially across higher ground but reaching lower slopes as the freezing line plummets; -10°C can be expect across the Italian Alps on Friday.
The best snowfall will fall across higher ground such as the Aosta Valley, with about 15cm down over Thursday and into Friday. Elsewhere, higher slopes of Piemonte and the Dolomites will see a few useful centimetres to keep things fresh. High pressure returns across the region on Saturday, with fine, dry and bright conditions dominating – temperatures will gradually lift as the freezing line climbs over the course of the weekend. Sunday will once again bring more cloud, a possible harbinger of more unsettled and snowy conditions moving in for Christmas week.
We are making important changes to how you register to ski with the Club this season, including shifting registration to the Ski Club App. Please note, this option is not yet available; we thank you for your patience in this matter.
Your Ski Club Reps are in resort for one reason only; to help you discover better skiing. They are your personal resort gurus, with years of experience skiing here and around the world, who will bring you and your fellow Members together to conquer the mountain! Stay up to date with everything in resort, find the best spots for an après beer, and ski to your hearts content.
Our Reps will be in resort between 5 January and 29 March 2025, skiing six days a week – Reps’ day off/changeover day is Sunday in this resort. We are making changes to how registration to ski with the Club in resort works. Thank you for your patience whilst we undertake these updates to the registration process.
A member of Ski Club in the 1984 and I did the Leaders course in 1998. I love extending peoples skiing so they make the most of the mountain and their vacation. Both on / off piste and in bars. I have enjoyed repping in Austria, Canada, France, Italy, Switzerland. In particular Wengen, Davos, Sass Fee, Zell am Zee, Mayrhofen, Les Arcs, Sun Peaks Resort, Alpe d'Huez, Tignes, Cervina, Champoluc. The only racing I do is in the Murren Inferno between 9km and 15km. I now cycle about 30- 75 miles at the weekend to keep my legs fit for skiing. Being out doors is fantastic. My goals are to cycle the Cheshire ring (the hard bit is avoiding the pubs) and Trans Pennine Trail. In the Mountains I am planning to walk / climb the East ridge of the Eiger in Wengen in the summer. Also A circular hut to hut tour in Sexten Dolomites, Italy most spectacular scenery. Any 3- 7 day ski touring trips I can fit in the Spring.
I have been lucky enough to have been skiing from a very early age, coming from good Austrian/Cornish stock; I spent my early winter years on the mountains surrounding Innsbruck learning and perfecting my falling with style technique. Since then I have had a couple of years racing, and qualified as an instructor, while serving in the army. Squeezed in 5 seasons working as an instructor/guide in Kitzbuhel , perfected the game of nails and acquired a taste for schnapps. My passion for skiing and the mountains has never diminished. As a Rep I look forward to sharing this passion and enthusiasm with others who feel the same...
We are still early in the process of assigning Reps for the 2024/25 winter season. Thank you for your patience whilst we make these arrangements.
I have been an avid skier since becoming hooked as a teenager, and spend as much time as possible in the mountains with my family. I became a rep in 2018 and am loving winter adventures with the club.
To date I have repped in Alagna, Kitzbuhel, Whistler and Baqueira. This winter I’m ‘stoked’ as they say in Canada to be representing the club on the inaugural Canadian Safari bucket list trip, as well as resort repping in Champoluc, Monte Rosa.
Away from the mountains I enjoy trail running, sailing and strumming my old guitar.
I love spending time in the mountains and enjoy skiing on piste and off piste whenever the opportunity arises. When not skiing I enjoy mountain biking and surfing.
Love skiing, from cruising the blues to steep and deep. Whatever it is I'm just happy to be on the slopes. When I'm not doing that I like being out on my bike in and around the North Downs.
