Loyal Guests

Skiing today with our loyal returning guests Philip and Deidre.

Great day; snowing as we set off this morning although we experienced every kind of weather condition in the course of the day but some lovely powder around!

Pistes will again be in perfect condition tomorrow when they have groomed them and some sunshine forecast.....what more could you ask for?

Lovely lunch in Gressoney today and of course Après Ski to follow, after a great day's skiing, at the Atelier Gourmand!

Perfect Day

Absolutely perfect day in the monterosa area today. Clear blue sky, tip top condition pistes, no wind, sunshine and great ski buddies!!!

Today we made a tour of the whole Monterosa area from Champoluc to Alagna village with pitstop at one of our favourite spots.....as breathtaking as ever....Rifugio Giuglielmina!!

Never ceases to recreate the WOW factor! All in all a WOW day with perfect weather conditions, perfect piste conditions and empty empty empty pistes!!! Sooooo Good!!

Oh sorry....don't want to make you jealous .....but forgot to mention the great food and wine also....however that is an everyday event here!

Well after the first day on skis on Tuesday 30th Nov, which was an hour and a quarter tour with skins to the top of Ostafa and an excellent descent in fresh powder with the mountain to ourselves, I didn't think it could get much better until today.

Friday 3rd Dec was the official opening of Monterosa Ski (Champoluc side of the mountain as Gressoney and Alagna opened a week before). Fantastic piste conditions with some good off-piste, clear blue skies and sunshine, the company of some good friends and a great aperitivo and fantastic lunch on the mountain. Skied until almost dusk with a deserted mountain.

BRILLIANT OPENING DAY FOR CHAMPOLUC!

We're Skiing Already!

The ski season in Champoluc has well and truly began and who needs lifts! There's some great powder already and lots of first tracks made!

Ski Guides and some Maestri have already done loads of off piste from 3rd November in Bettolina, Vascoccia (Antagnod) and Stolemberg (Salati - Alagna). There are videos on facebook from Stefano Percino and Alberto (Maestro)

The lifts open 26 November. Beat the crowds and make first tracks. There is some excellent first snow to be experienced. Monterosa is waiting for you!
