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.

Today is my last day in sunny Champoluc. With a few members out with me to check out the slopes of the Monte Rosa valleys. We agreed to get to Gabiet then traveled a little higher. As with all high mountain areas the cloud suddenly came in and we were bathed in low light. Quick change of the goggles and we headed for coffee at the Adlers Nest. First time here and we were in for a treat. Fantastic coffee and crunchy chocolate cookies to boot – thank you Leah. With a rather unique display of chopping boards?! As we started to head back as one of our party had a luncheon date. On the Champoluc side of the valley the light was better. As we returned to the top of the Sarreza the skies were beautifully blue. Up high a huge bird of prey soaring. Possibly an eagle or vulture none of us too sure. Where’s graham McMahon when you need him? On high recommendation we made our way to the “La Mandria” restaurant tucked away on C10 Del Lago. We were not disappointed, Rősti, Palma ham and buffalo mozzarella – delicious. With the weather being cold in the morning the snow was lasting better today so we concentrated our efforts in and around Champoluc/Frachey, doing a couple of laps. As finish time beckoned we headed back through the now expected heavy return snow. A great day again, ending my two weeks in Champoluc and residency at Hotel Castor. Where Herman, Beatrice and all their family and staff welcomed me from the very first day. Thank you
Sun blue skies with intermittent cloud. Snow hard pack in the morning soft and heavy in the afternoon

A generally cooler weekend than previous for many areas across Italy this weekend and into the new week, with the freezing line falling off from a high of around 2,5000m to hitting 1,000m by Monday lunchtime. This will be accompanied by snowfall in some areas, including around 10cm in the Dolomites and 5cm in the Aosta Valley.
Fine, dry and bright conditions return as the new working week does, with temperatures remaining cool throughout. A few flurries of snow will fall across the region later in the week, as temperatures return to their normal spring freeze-thaw dance.
Our Reps service in Champoluc has now concluded for the season; thank you to all our Reps who helped Members and non-Members alike discover better skiing! We look forward to seeing you all in in resort next season.
