Linked to Gressoney and Champoluc in the Monterosa Ski Area, Alagna has over 2000m of lift served vertical and some serious off piste terrain.

As a result of this terrain, Alagna is a real paradise for expert skiers and boarders. On piste, the two ends of the ski area are 17km apart, so skiing the pistes from one end to the other and back gives a real sense of travel. Back in town, the old wooden buildings and quiet streets make Alagna one of the most picturesque of all Italian ski resorts, especially with the spectacular scenery of the Monterosa massif as the backdrop.

Alagna

Pros and cons

Access to incredible off piste terrain
Huge vertical and lots of skiing above 2500m
Part of the vast Monterosa ski area and its 132km of linked slopes

Upper mountain may close during bad weather
Tough mountain for beginners or early intermediates
Village is relatively quiet in terms of apres and nightlife

On the Slopes

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!

In the Resort

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.

Getting to Alagna

Milan Malpensa is just under two hours away from Alagna, whilst the city’s other airport, Linate, lies on the other side of the city. The drive takes around two and a half hours, depending on traffic. Turin airport is also around two and a half hours away.

Milan Malpensa airport: 2 hours
Milan Linate airport: 2.5 hours

Snow Overview

Italy

Updated 20/12

A really, really mixed bag is in store this weekend for Italian resorts, with some areas benefiting from a ramp up of winter conditions right before winter, others not enjoying quite the same fate by dint of geography.

The southwest will see a fairly standard pattern, temperatures falling as the weekend progresses and getting some good snowfall making it over the Main Alpine Ridge from France. Sauze d’Oulx will see around 15cm of snow on Sunday, enough to give it a really good boost just before the start of the Christmas week. Cloud and cold conditions will continue, with the occasional flurry of snowfall to freshen things up over Christmas Eve and Christmas Day itself.

Cervinia and the high ground of the Aosta Valley will be best placed to capture this upcoming snowfall, with a foot expected down on Sunday and then again across Monday and Tuesday combined. This will fall across all elevations as the freezing line remains firmly rooted to around 500m elevation. Christmas Day itself is expected to be fine, dry and bright, with cold temperatures and plenty of sun, making for near-perfect riding conditions after the previous snowfall!

Finally, in the Dolomites, a much calmer, brighter weekend and Christmas week is in store – but this does come at the cost of missing out on snowfall. High pressure will remain dominant, meaning sun will be present on Saturday and again in the new week, interspersed with cloud cover and flurries of snow. This won’t really be much to register on a snowstick at all, most of the snow here getting stuck on the Austria side of the Main Alpine Ridge.
