Summary

Gressoney is the centrally placed resort in the three-valley Monterosa ski area. It’s even quieter than Champoluc, and rather more attractive: a traditional, neat little village. The main lifts into the ski area are clustered around Stafal at the head of the valley, but there is a chairlift on the edge of Gressoney. The area suits intermediates who prefer long, undemanding cruises and don’t mind repeating them. Experts come to the region for the splendid off-piste. The network of lifts and pistes is anything but small-scale. Champoluc at one end and Alagna at the other are 17km apart, and it’s a four-hour trip by road if you miss the last lift.
