Gressoney is ideal for those looking for somewhere peaceful and serene. Both Gressoney-La-Trinité and Gressoney-Saint-Jean are authentic Italian villages that display old Walser traditions and style, giving visitors have plenty of history to explore when they’re not skiing. Both villages have good access to the slopes, and several bars and restaurants, although the après-ski scene is quieter than other resorts
While other resorts may have more to offer keen shoppers and those looking for a lively après-ski scene, Gressoney still has plenty of attractions, local traditions and history to explore. Off the slopes there’s a sports centre, several shops, and some great restaurants and museums. But ultimately, both villages are best suited to visitors looking to spend most of their time skiing, and enjoying a relatively peaceful, quiet ambience after the lifts have closed.
Champoluc and Alagna are also part of the Monterosa ski circuit, a large network of lifts and pistes, and some great off-piste terrain. Despite its excellent ski area, all three resorts are unspoilt and quiet, with a friendly, authentic Italian ambience. As such, Monterosa is considered by many to be one of Europe’s best kept secrets.
From Gressoney-La-Trinité skiers can access the whole of the Monterosa ski circuit. Those staying in Gressoney-Saint-Jean have their own slopes to enjoy, including fabulous woodland skiing. Ideal for intermediates and experts, Monterosa offers mainly red runs, and amazing off-piste and heliskiing opportunities. Snowboarders will also love the free-riding here, and cross-country skiers are spoilt for choice too. There’s also a good choice of mountain restaurants.
