Champoluc is a delightful, unspoilt village lying at the top of the Ayas Valley, below the imposing Monte Rosa mountain chain with its towering peaks and extensive glaciers. The Monte Rosa ski area covers three valleys with a modern lift system and with extensive possibilities for off-piste skiing and touring in spring.

Beginners

At the top of the Crest gondola is an open bowl for beginners to gain confidence. Having conquered one red run, another area with blue runs can be reached above Frachey.

Intermediates

Champoluc is a paradise for intermediates and competent skiers will move on by chairlift to the east of the Sarezza summit. Champoluc is linked with Gressoney, exhilarating skiing through varied scenery from wide open glades to runs through the trees.

Advanced

From the moguls of Sarezza to magnificent long runs to Stafal in Gressoney, the advanced skier is very well catered for. Heli-skiing in spring on the Monte Rosa is the ultimate achievement.

Snowboarding

This area has some superb wide, well groomed slopes that make it a suitable desination for freeriders and beginners alike. Those wanting to jump should find enough natural terrain to keep you smiling. The lack of drag lifts can only be a bonus as well.
