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 – 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 – 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 €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.

High pressure dominates over most of Europe this week, thanks to the Jetstream forming a strong barrier along the west cost of Ireland, the UK and Norway. As a result, plenty of sun and fine, dry and bright conditions will be story of the week from now until the end of the weekend.
Things will remain cold, however, with a freezing line camping out at around 1,000m, occasionally peaking to 2,000m in the midday sun. Daytime highs of -5°C can be expected at 2,000m, occasionally slipping into positive temperatures throughout the week.
A few flurries of snow will move over Piemonte over this weekend, as low pressure bubbles away in the Mediterranean. This will bring about 5cm to the region, with the barrier becoming more broken down as the weekend comes to a conclusion and unsettled weather moving across the whole of the Italian Alps – it remains too early to tell how much snow this will bring.
